Hello everybody, I'm new to the community and I could really use some help. Yes I have searched this topic before and read many previous forums, but haven't been able to diagnose the problem yet. I have a 2011 Camaro SS, and I'll include the mods at the bottom.

Awhile back I put headers in and have been using a diablosport t1000 tuner to adjust the tune and the car was running great for a long time. Slowly, the car began to run a little worse, and would have days where it ran great and days where it seemed to have a loss of power, and seemed as if it were running really rich. It also started to crank really rough, especially when hot. Almost every time I would start it in the morning it would start right up, and every time it was hot it either wouldn't start or I would get the stabilitrak error and it would shake real hard and run terrible. So, my thoughts were bad battery, or a bad starter from the heat of the headers. First I tried jumping the car many times and same issue, and then I tried compression starting the car and every time would still get the stabilitrak error.

I took the car to a Chevy dealership and asked them to diagnose it. They ended up putting in a new battery, and said the starter was fine and does not need replaced, but they agreed that it still starts a little rough especially when warm. They were not able to figure it out after hooking it up to their computer. After the new battery, the cranking is much faster and the car starts right up every time, but it runs better when started cold and not as well when warm. Also, when it starts in the morning and you can tell it's running well, as in it's much more responsive and just overall sounds much better, as I drive it it slowly starts to go back to running bad. Lots of backfiring, much less responsive, and sounds like shit. Also just a note for all of this I restored the tune to original settings and haven't had any custom tunes on the car. Thanks for any help.

Mods:
Kooks headers
Flowmaster outlaw exhaust
K&N intake
Diablosport t-1000
