Strange issues after headers and exhaust added - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So for some background I have 1 7/8 long tube headers and borla atak exhaust on the car that I put on about 1-2 months ago. I have not had a chance to get a tune as of yet. Yesterday I was out for a drive and the car started dinging and the traction control light, brake light, and abs light all came one. Today the problem persists and I have noticed my gauges and heads up display seem to fail for a split second and the engine feels like it also loses power and wants to stallfor just a split second. Not sure what it could be, have read somewhere on here possibly a speed sensor? Has anyone else had this issue or know how to correct it?

If all you did was headers and exhaust, check your plug wires. This happened to me just after I did headers.
I had a plug wire come off and the same lights came on and the tach was at zero.
Easy check..
