I'm just gonna sell the POS...
I'm gonna set it on fire...
What kind of reception did you expect? In one post, you say you didn't have it tuned, in another, you say you did. Take a deep breath, calm down a bit, and answer truthfully...Did you have it professionally tuned?

Damn Franktank or what ever you go bye. Didn't ask for your bull, just wanted to find out if anyone else has had this problem after adding headers...Been driving mustang, camaro's for over 30 years and never had a problem with headers, but got a big problem now...

When I put LT's (1 7/8th catless) on my ls2 GTO, it started up and drove arround perfectly without a tune. If you are having these issues after the tune, find a new tuner.
I have been seeing a lot of fishiness around here lately. Even the major fast food chains are getting in on it, they all have fish samiches on sale.

I got 3 inch with cone shaped collector and X tube (mid pipe) Sure thought it would help, but I do not even want to start it and drive it around the block. Do not know what I should do at this point. Cannot afford to put old exhaust on, as they have thrown away (I should have saved it).. Oh Well! This will be one of the most expensive mistakes I could have made concerning my beloved car.

Geez I picked up 47 rwhp with headers and tune and 160 stat. LS3.
I'd have the tune checked out something is fishy here for sure. 30 rwhp with tune isn't very good. But I suppose it is within the realm of possibility.
If car is running worse gotta be the tune or a major exhaust leak....this mod sure woke up my car..

ok...you will pick up a lot of torque and some RWHP with LGs before tune and more after it is tuned so something else is wrong....
if you didn't have access to a tuner why would you get a mod installed that needed a tune if you didn't have access to a tuner

In all seriousness, doesn't the C6 reduce power to like 200HP or something when certain codes are thrown? My best guess is that the rear O2's are throwing a code and the ECU went into 'limp mode'.
Could try disconnecting the batt to reset the ECU maybe?
This would make sense, since it took some driving before he lost power.

Well then the headers did make hp. Maybe an 02 sensor wire got fried. I installed my own so I wouldn't have to depend on someone elses incompetence.

I asked about codes and he said nothing about them so who knows.
