Default Whats wrong with my 5.0?

Ok guys, recently I installed a pypes Off-Road X-pipe on my mustang along with the magnaflow magnapack catback exhaust. with stock headers. But EVER sence I installed the Xpipe and got rid of the cats my car drives differnt. When i go to accelerate, not fast just normal driving, it bogs down and jerks a little big and doesnt accelerate and I hear like a POP POP POP, or sometimes only one POP like my car is back firing. all the way into like 3rd or 4th gear. What can be wrong? Do i need a bigger throttle body to give it more air, or does it need tuned?the os sensors we put from the old pipe to the new one, no problems or did the exhaust come lose and is now leaking? the weird thing is it only happens sometimes , not all the time but its starting to happen alot. If any1 knows please let me no becuase its becoming worse and worse. dont wanna ruin my baby. haha

thank you!

If we are talking about a sn 5.0 then the egr goes straight down to the #3 primary on the header!
