Exclamation rough idle,then idles ok? after headers

ok i checked all the spark plug wires and plugs and i have no other idea what could be causing this symptom after my header install

sometime when i am going down the road it is all sluggish and doesnt want to go but then it seems like all of a sudden there is another 100 horse in the engine for some damn reason??? I checked and i can see no burnt plug wires or any arcing i parked it in my garage at night with no lights and NOTHING!~, it drove fine for the 1st while after the header install and now this.

anyone elese had this? also dont have the rear o2 sims yet, and i reset the PCM as well

I had that same problem when I installed mine, but I have no idea what the problem could be.. I'd like to know, too.

so did it fix itself or is it still doing it?

There was a post like this a while back.

One of the guys spark-plugs got loose on him after install. Could be a burned wire.

Also check for exhaust leaks.
