Default 2008 Check Engine Light

Just picked my new LS3 and I had the dealer install my Bullets off of my 2006. On the way home I noticed that the check engine light is on and the car hesitates and bucks a bit at low RPM's....Anyone else have similar issues....I am taking it back in the morning. I was so excited about picking it up but this problem killed it for me.....

Nothing else done to it at all? Was it an NPP car?

Though it's possible, I'm thinking that the exhaust swap has nothing to do with this hesitation/stumbling.
I also think it's something minor that a dealership's Tech II unit will help determine and cure.

Default hesitation

It almost feels like a plug wire has come off or something with MAF

was it an NPP exhaust prior to swap? Just looking to see if there is something that needs to be watched out for in those cars.

Why would one buy a 08 with NPP and have the dealer swap out to Bullets before taking delivery, would be a $1195 loss. ???

Believe it or not, the 2008 market is really hot right now. there are people who will buy the vette with the NPP because although they found a car almost exactly what they were looking for, they found one close with the NPP and said heck with it, they'll eat it to have the car right now and put something like bullets later.

Instant Gratification

As we all know, dealers order as many options as they can for a inventoried car.
