P0300 is random radom/multiple cyl misfire and P0400 is EGR flow.
Headers will lean out the mix but random misfires sounds more like burnt plug wires or bad plugs. I think u can get lean misfire though. Fix would be a PCM tune or maybe just to test u could use a adj fuel press reg and increase the fuel press for a test run.
The EGR flow would be a bad solenoid as i think thats all the PCM can see. It dont measure flow or have any position switch on the EGR vlv. All it knows is if the EGR solenoid gets energized. Unless it can use O2 sensor output to see EGR flow results - i doubt it.

Cyl 6 has high misfire counts under load but few present on 3,4,5 also. Egr codes i have read are common after lt install due to lack of backpressure but just came on today sop i thought that was odd. The lt's do have air/egr and everything is hooked up. Also when i was monitoring with tech 2 while driving the temp[ has been higher since install and fans dont kick on until about 232 degrees then the low speed comes on but have yet to have the high speed come on. Cruising is fine and i can command them on with tech 2 but before install the temp usually wouldnt get up to half temp any ideas?

i did check them by feel cause i could not get under vehicle and it does not seem melted anywhere but i will look better this weekend.
Anyone know anything about temp issue? Any way i can lower fan kick on temps without tuning? If not does the jet dst work well and is it user friendly?

If the car runs really hot and rough you could have some plug wires in wrong position, like #5 and #7. It'll run all jacked up but it will run. I would definitely check to see if they burned on one of your pipes and check your O2 wires also since they sit really close to the headers.
