Loss of low end power after header install

Well after my header install my car wont spin the tires anymore. Could this be due to the knock sensor pulling a lot of timing because of te louder exhaust? Oh And The exhaust seems to have some vibration at certain rpm's.

You need to get a Scanmaster or Datamaster to detect if the PCM is pulling timing, its possible.

I had 3 leaks from the connections. I had a muffler shop weld the new cat in but where the coated headers met he said he could not do it. I used the old aluminum foil trick and some clamps and got them i think. The noise under the car went way down. I already had the lt4 knock module so that was probably a big help. My 1/4 mile times dropped a lot after the leaks where fixed. My air pump valves where bad and i replaced them so that took a bad tick i was chasing and made it go away. I also waited a week and replaced the O2's. They can foul out from the gases from the coating until it burns off. I put my hands under the car after starting it cold and felt for air blowing from leaks. The worst thing is they heat up fast so beware.
