O2 Sensor fall out
So the situation is when I swapped out my stock Cat for my test pipe I noticed that the previous owner had done some exhaust work to the car. the bolts came off way too easy and I noticed that the Rear O2 sensor was crossthreaded from an inpatient installer. Well I did the best I could and I made it fit pretty good.
So 2 days ago I installed a UR cat back on to the car. Im not sure if the O2 sensor got loose from the intall or the vibrations from a louder exhaust knocked it loose or both.
But when i was driving to the gym, I notice a that annoying sound of a good sized exhaust leak, so i looked under the car and the sensor was being dragged and it looks like its toast. I tucked it in the little compartment where the groumet hides behind so it wount get dragged anymore. Ive been keeping an eye on AFR with my wide band and in certain RPM and throttle position it runs rich (10.7-12.3) when off the throttle.
Where would I get a new stock O2 sensor and how hard would it be to install it?

I kinda figured that much but when emission time comes, I cant even swap on the stock cat back on. Or do the Illinois emissions just check if you have a CEL code for the 02 sensor? In that case I wont worry about it and have the tune to take care of it.

I know you werent. I know its pretty much useless. And I appriciate your responce. 
Im just worried when emission time comes I wont pass at all since the sensor is destroyed and I even if I put my stock cat back on, I still dont have a sensor to screw in. haha
