Very common malady and response to an long tube header system install. However, do run a manual diagnostics to obtain any and all trouble codes presenting currently to help narrow down the problem.

Expect codes, 1133, 1153, possibly 1134 and 1154, there are others, but you can bet it's the O2's throwing codes after the headers. I'm still sorting out my car after a header install. It's very frustrating, but hopefully all worth it. You can have certain codes edited out, but you need the front o2's to work properly. Just had to replace mine. Good luck.
