backfire after header install just finished my pacesetter install/ory and borla install, i go and start it up and it runs fine, then i give it some gas and i get a backfire at around 5k rpms, anyone have any idea whats causing this? i had to take the pass side spark plug wires off to get some slack so one of them wouldnt touch the header, but i am not sure if i put them back in the right order, would this be the problem?
