Default Can header and Off Rd Y cause my car to ping (run lean)

I just installed then and the car is pinging. What do you think?

Thanks

Is it hitting the floor board? If so then your getting knock, as for pinging I have no idea. Did you check the easy stuff, like plug wires and the clip to plug up the coil packs? What about the wire to the coil pack itself?

Usually after headers you run rich. Strange.

Maybe more valvetrain noise coming thru the thinner walled header?

I ran real lean after headers and Y, around 14 to 1 accordign the the dyno wideband. so I would say yes, that could happen.
