This is fairly typical of posts I have read seeking help after doing a header install. Generally, these posts fall into two categories --- the engine doesn't run right, or the 'check engine' light stays on all the time.
Does this sound familiar???

Problems due to a lack of back pressure?
I still have the stock cat in place with the IHE and the problem I am trying to describe seems to have gotten a little worse over the summer.
Between the ranges of 2-3.5K, my car sometimes "sputters" when I step on the gas or when I am just starting off the line. It almost feels like vapor lock would on a carb'd. engine sometimes.
It was first suggested that it may be due to a lack of backpressure which makes total sense to me. If that is that case, what is the next step to correct the sputtering. I am guessing that because I have impoved the breathing, I now need to attack the fuel delivery?
The fuel rail and throttle body are still stock.
Thanks,
j.

had the same problem after i installed my headers (i already
have an exhaust and intake at that time). and whenever i'm
going off the line, at some point in the rpm my car feels like
it's having an asthma attack. since i'm still a neophyte at that
time (4 yrs. ago), i didn't want to mess with the fuel system
or whatever. i just left it at that...

This is a good question, I have the similar problem, but, temperatures effect it. I think much of it is backpressure...
