Default Random popping in the Exhaust?

Hey guys I am new to the Forum and I just got my car back from the Dyno today. 02 Z made 370 RWHP with 228R cam and Long tubes.

I am having an issue and it started every since the headers went on. The car basically has low RPM hesitation and it pops violently and randomly inside the exhaust. I just put 8 new NGK Tr5GP's in it and new wires. No codes. Any ideas?

Was the car tuned for the cam?

If the car has been properly tuned, most likely problem is one of the plugs was cracked during install or a wire is slightly messed up. Could also be a problem with a fron o2 sensor.

Yes. Then it was retuned today for the headers and ORY. It only started this after the Header and ORY install

Your Y pipe is hitting the bottom of the car. Most likely on the drivers side. Get an old valve spring and wedge it in between the Y pipe and the bottom of the car and see if the popping goes away.
