Default My car shuts off after a little while of idling with open headers
My car is shutting off and dying when it idles for about 5 or 10 minutes. I just installed pacesetter LTs and it does have open headers, because i am getting the exhaust welded on sunday. Does this have something to do with the open headers, LS6 intake or is it something else? Thanks

That would be your O2 sensors most likely... Are your fronts installed?

Open headers is bad for the O2's. If you need to run it at least put some straight pipe on there. Those sensors aren't cheap.
