Default after the LT install, I only have one gripe... can anyone help?

when I turn the car off, it gets rough and isn't in any way gentle like it used to be... I'm starting to wonder if its a spark issue (missfire not throwing a code or a bad plug wire or two) or if its just the pipes banging against everything

any one have any similar experience?

It sounds like it still wants to idle after you turn the key to off? Sounds like the car is "dieseling". How many miles are on the car?

Hmmm.... my motor shakes like it's having a damned seizure (shifter wants to jump off the trans it looks like) when I turn it off. No noise, not sure what that'd be... How'd the install go anyhow?

the install was longer than expected, but I was feeling sick half way through and came inside to take a nap I stocked up on water, I kept hydrated the entire time... it would have gone smoother but I had to wait for somebody to show up ... the one thing I didn't take into consideration was getting the intermediate and the Y mated up ... was a tight fit onto the Y so I have a slight exhaust leak at the moment ...

the only thing i can think of is that I might have a miss, but I don't have a flashing SES, I fucked up one or two of the plug wires and tried to put them back together as best I could ... so that might play a part, maybe not getting enough spark at a lower RPM or something

but the install thread, I posted it with vid clips of the aftermath...
the headers slid in like butter ... didn't have to grind, unhook or notch a single thing

If you even think it might be the plug wires due to having issues with them during the install, just replace them. Costs like $38 at Autozone and it's damn easy. Takes probably 30 minutes and even that's an exaggeration just because of here #6 and #8 are.
