Default Headers are leaking and car died?

Got my 02 ss tuned yesterday and put down 325rwhp with 3400 stall and headers. headers were just put on 2 days ago.On the right header as soon as I floored it on the dyno, you could hear it leak. Should I just tighten the bolts again and will that solve the problem. Also this morning I started the car and it started right up but as soon as I left the driveway and started coasting down the hill, the car died but I started it back up at the bottom of the hill with no issues. Runs fine now. what could have caused this?

Header leak shouldn't have caused your car to die. And yes, it's very common to have to re-tighten the header bolts, so re-tighten them and test to make sure no leaks.
