long tubes & ory installed, now exhaust pops
I installed my long tubes and off road y yesterday and ever since then the car isn't running well. It' lost a bunch of power down low. I was driving the car home after installation in 6th gear and the exhaust continued to pop at random, and also when I would upshift to speed up or pass someone. At the same time the SES light was flashing the whole time. Will o2 sims fix the problem?

Update: I re-checked all the plugs and wires except for the rear passenger side. The others were the only I could access from up top in my apartment parking lot. The misc. popping has stopped now, but there's still a tad bit of hesitation. Also the SES light flashes occasionally now instead of the whole time like it was the first time. I didn't get a chance to make it to AutoZone yesterday, so hopefully today.

Slight popping is usual, means you have a rich condition. Should ease up a bit with time.
Good time to get a tune. That'll fix your soggy bottom end. It's worth it. Not only to removed the MIL codes, but also to correct your timing and air/fuel ratio.

You should definetely check that last plugwire. The same thing happened to me after I installed my headers. I didn't get that last passenger way back on good enough. If the light is blinking your missfiring. If you have cats that raw fuel will tear it up quick too. As for the power loss down low. Its normal... You just need to get your timing advanced and the airfuel cleaned back up. After that you'll have all your tourque back and then some!!

Having the same problem with my exhaust after LT and ORY install. Took it to auto zone and the codes were EGR and MAF, they didn't say anything about a misfire, but my exhaust pops and it's a little jumpy in drive (idle @500 RPM).
