Default Weird Idle after Longtube headers an y pipe installed

I just installed Pacesetter long tube headers an a Y pipe with SLP cats. After the install it idles weird after I drive it. It will rev up to around 2000 RPM'S when I press in the clutch, an it will continue to do this for about 15 seconds then go back to normal. But as soon as I start driving it again, it will rev up when I press the clutch in. Any info would be helpful. Thank you very much.

sounds like a vacuum leak. I'd go w/ 180 and check all your hoses.

I had the same problem after my long tube install, I did my manifold at the same time and I had managed to let a vacuum line fly under the radar. Plugged it back in and everything worked fine.
