I have the following mods - ANY MODS I SHOULD GET RID OF FOR BETTER PERFORMANCE????

Hello - I have a 94 camaro z28 m6
4:10 gears
Lt4 Hot cam
Lt4 knock module
Grantenlili MAF
Pcm tuned by pcm for less
58 throttle body holley
Trick flow elbow
March pulleys
Hypertech 160 thermo
K&N air filter charger kit
1:6 roller rockers
elderbrock shorty headers
No cats
Slp loudmouth

MY car is making a loud popping sound. Like cherry bombs would make then once the popping is gone my performance kicks in. I got on the pedal pretty good and its like its missing when its making that really loud popping sound like its missing. But when It stops my performance kicks in. ANY mods above I should get rid of or add to. Another member thinks it's MY MAF sensor. I'm checking into that. But anyone have a similar problem. Before I had the hot cam and headers and cat off I had the loudmouth and once in a while it would make that popping sound. But now ever since the headers, cam, cat - tooken off - My car makes that popping sound really bad. Unless I drive it at 3k or above. Could I have damaged a piston. Because It's running bad now.

I hate to put the cat back on. What about a muffler like flowmaster. The loudmouth is just a hollow piece of pipe. I know thats the problem not enough backpressure.
