Usually, headers will throw a O2 sensor code, especially if you have catless mids. Maybe the MAF wires got bumped during the install and you have a loose connection?

Check to make sure you didn't crack the temperature sensor in the D/S head. I believe it is also the ground for the MAF.

Like batboy says, it usually throws and O2, but shouldn't cause it to run like ****. Those lights just come on because it thinks your cats are failing.
