Question 4,500 RPM sputter....

I recently installed headers and y and cat back and a lid. i don't have any smog stuff (AIR or ERG) or rear O2 sensors. when i'm getting on it and the ingine is around 4,500 RPM's it sounds and feels like the engine is sputtering a little and kinda feels like there is a small loss in power. can getting the car tuned right fix this? could the problem be caused by the lack of sensors and smog equipment?

Getting a tune will probably fix the problem, if not, they will tell you how to fix it if it's something that needs replaced.
