Just replaced DT Shortie Headers with OBX Long Tubes

Yesterday i replaed my doug thorley shortie headers with some OBX Long tube headers. The muffler shop was able to retain the use of my solo high flow cats, which im glad about. So last night i go out to test the new headers. Immediatly i notice the car is very sluggish and has no power. It feels Like i lost 25 HP. So i am a little dissapointed but i say to myself that i will drive it tommorow some more. Maybe the ECM needs time to adjust to the new modification. So this morning i take the car out and again it still feel's like i have lost a ton of power. After about 25 minuets of driving i start to notice the car coming back alive. Okay as of now my car feels exactly the same as before i got the Long Tube headers installed. So my questions is should i be able to feel a noticeable power increase right away by going with Long Tube headers? Do you think a retune from Vince will make me notice a difference in power. I just dont want to have wasted my money on something i did not gain anything out of.
