Missing

I just had stainless works long tube headers installed tonight and driving home it feels like the car is missing. I also had high flow cats installed with the headers. If any one could give me a little insight on this it would be appreciated, I am taking it back tomorrow its just one of those things that is driving me nuts. Thanks for any input.

Check you plugs / plug wires.. when I swapped my headers in my old car, one of the wires melted against one of the primaries and subsequently caused a miss..

Also, do you have a check engine light?

Check to make sure your plugs weren't damaged during the install.

this may be a dumb question, I had a tune done 2 years ago that wouldn't have any effect?

Shouldn't have any negative impact. The stock plugs are extremely easy to crack during a header install. You can run a diagnosis with onstar if you want. They can tell you if a plug is misfiring.
