Default Corvette Problems

Just recently did some exhaust work on my 1998 C5 and noticed that its been bogging out..I just threw a check engine light today and noticed it has been running like **** ever since I installed the Borla XR-1. I know its not the exhaust giving me the problems...It seems like something to do with the fuel its getting by the way its running...Anyone have any suggestions that would save me the $$$ of going into the dealership and having them hook it up to the diagnostics.

Have you checked the code through the DIC yet? let me know if you don't know the procedure I can go downstairs and do it again, kinda like you only know a phone number if you dial it. Once you have the code you should be able to look it up on the internet. The Vararam maybe throwing a lean code and has a leak or something. Those clamps can loosen up and throw the MAF off so it will run like crap.
