BBK HEADERS CAUSING ISSUES

I installed the bbk lt headers on my 2010 v6 Camaro 3 days ago. Last night I turned the car on and it jumps into low power mode. I shut the car off and restarted it and it ran fine. Has anyone else had this problem? Also it almost feels like there was no real power increase and even a little less power in the low to mid rpm range. Can anyone else weigh in?

I definitely felt an improvement on the low end torque. Before I had to sink the pedal to pickup speed or downshift. Now, with a slight push I can feel the car picking up speed.

Ported throttle body, manifold insulators/spacers, the rest of the exhaust, a catch can, plenum spacer, ported manifold.

I have heard that without a tune the car has to learn to adjust by itself. Have you driven very far? I would say after about 50 miles you should be better?
