Really sounds like a bad tune, I would flash it back to stock at a dealer and see if your problems go away. Put the stock exhaust back if you need to.

Hello everyone, so after trying the "parts cannon" I ended up having my car towed to an LS performance shop. The issues were pretty simple, it was just a blown o2 sensor fuse and as expected the timing of my original tune was all over the place. Car was fixed and properly dynod. Runs like normal but now I'm having a wheel spacing issue, the woes of life.

Hope the re-set to factory helps, though you should expect possible air/fuel ratio issues, and maybe 02 issues, both of which can be corrected with a tuner who really knows what he/she is doing. Let us know how it comes out.

This is pretty much exactly what is was. One bad underlying issue caused a spew of other issues to occur. Went to a shop called LSxcellence and they got me all sorted out.

Must have been a pretty healthy tow bill going all the way to P-Park!

Yeah right XD, was trying to use triple a for almost a week to get it done but they had tow limit restrictions because of the hurricane. 300$ total :/
