And yes, if your headers have an EGR port that you did not block off, it will be a huge exhaust leak that can mess up flow and throw off the O2 sensor on that side. You can make a block off plate from any kind of metal you have laying around or go to the hardware store and find something thick enough.

if you have a gaping hole coming out of one of your primaries I'd say that's a reasonable guess to say that's where you're losing power.
