those r both good ideas. I'm going to try and see if I can get them secured better to try to limit movement. I'm also going to get the exhaust bolts checked to see if any of them have loosened enough to cause a small leak near the primary o2 as jordo suggested. I just don't undertsand how my car can run beautifully for 2000 miles after my exhaust install then fall flat on its face overnight.

It's frustrating when it comes to modding, and also when your car doesn't run the right way. Luckily these are actually pretty mild mods and likely is an easy fix that is probably something simple. Just try to relax... you'll get it straight.

It's entirely possible that the intakes were more firmly secured at one point and then loosend up a bit resulting in more movement than there had been initially. Likewise, something could have flown up and damaged the exhaust.

On that note, any pending codes? You might want to see if autozone can scan the ECU for you (or pick one up).
