Default Loud noise after spark plugs

Ok so, after changing them everything seems normal, except for the SES light, but when I hit the gas theres like a boom noise on the exhaust kinda freaking, is that due to the plugs change? to a TR6 with a .038 gap?

Make sure everything is plugged back in and all your plug wires are seated properly, does it sound/drive like its missing a cylinder?

Did you put the AIR tubes back? I read that can cause noise when the engine is under load.

make sure you put all hoses back on tightly. also make sure all your plug wires are also because they tend to pop off

the change of the colder plugs will not have any effect on the performance or your issue, guessing you dont have a plug wire fully seated somewhere.

Check to make sure you did not blow a plug out of the head. One of your plugs may not have been in well enough and blown out.

Alway's use anti-sieze on your plug's....makes for a much easier time getting them back out after running them for a few thousand miles.
Take the plugs back out and make sure you didn't snap one of them, it can happen very easily considering the space to work with.
Good luck, I hope you find the problem.
