Default Is this why my cars running bad??? (headers)

Ok so when my buddy was putting my headers on for me, he accedently put the passenger side on with the gasket upside down. He said that he already had the header lined up and didn't want to take it back out so he just forced the bolts through the gasket he said it wouldn't cause any problems. My car has been running horrible lately. Could it be because the gasket is blocking the airway?

yes. fix the gasket. the exhaust can not flow through the gasket correctly if its upside down.
