Default Please help!!!!!

Hi I'm hoping someone well help me with my problem. I have a 2001 Mustang V6 coupe, and for some reason when I turn it on the Idle goes really low and almost turns off... For some reason the stang doesn't warm up any more like it use to at a higher RPM... When I drive and I go to change gears the RPM's go down drasticly... I recently installed Pypes 2.5 inch exhaust, no catts with 3 inch tips. With that I also did a full turn up(oil change, oil filter, spark plugs, spark plug wires, intake) still haven't changed the gas filter. I have it but haven't had the time to change. The car started doing it maybe 200-300 miles after the full tune up, and I haven't driven it since. I think that its because I'm not getting enough air into the motor, so I just recently ordered a fender CAI from American muscle hoping that it will fix the problem. If anyone could help me I will really appreciate it.

did you mess with the order of your wires on your coil pack or anything?

that could be your problem. the firing order is screwy if your wires arent right.

What I mean by not in order is that their in the right place but one isn't the right lenth and it was suppose to be on the spark plug that is farther to the coil pack. Do you know what i mean?
