Default Idling a little low after LT's + Y

After header/y pipe install the car seems to idle a tad low when at a complete stop. Like a hair over 500 rpms, is this common?

My intake is stock btw, in case that can affect it.

My car is pretty much stock (except minor bolt-ons) and that's where mine idles at.

how long have you driven the car after install....the computer just might need to get used to it. Mine idled at 600 stock the 700 after LTs then a few days later back to 600.

make sure that your vacuums are all sealed off. I had that same problem and it was because of the L shaped plastic hose that plugs into the intake right behind the throttle body.
