Default hard starting after long tubes and true dual

I just finished installing my new TSP 1" 7/8 long tubes and TSP true dual exhaust on sunday. i also change the plugs and wires out. now evertime i go to start it when its cold i have to crank it for like 10 seconds. before if would fire on the first hit. What could have happened?

thanks chris

I would check your plugs and wires. I just did the same install but with 1 3/4" Hooker LTs and I also changed my plugs

right, and they are the most likely culprit because of that.

Check the connection between the plugs and wires. Did you remove the starter when you put the headers in?

Without the cam sensor working properly, the PCM won't know what position the engine is at to send fuel. It will have to check the crank sensor to determine position and that'll take longer to start since it has twice the possibilities.
