loss of power after fixing exaust leak?
ok, I have got the h-pipe all hooked up nice and snug, new O2's cause after i got the old ones off relized that they were crap anyway, hahaha. My mufflers and tailpipes are swiss cheese (rust holes everywhere).
Ihave seem to have lost power though?
Could this be because my timing was set while my O2's weren't functioning properly? Or maybe just because it actually has some back pressure now?
If not then i need some help with this one, i liked my car better when it was a little faster!!!! [&o]

Well it actually hasa louder andmore throaty sound now,I was excited whenI first fired it up.
Ialso unhooked the battery for about 20 min. whileI finished up. is that allI need to do for myECU for it to properly use my new O2 sensors?

Did you try resetting the computer after all of the new stuff? Leave your negative battery terminal disconnected for about 10 minutes and go back out and reconnect it. It will also clear your codes.

Tooka plug wire off to get to the headers and forgot to put it back on, could be the problem!
