Default Misfire

I got a 2015 corvette c7 with 20k miles I recently installed longtube headers and an x pipe on the car and everything was working out fine. Just two days after the install and driving the car I got a flashing check engine light with reduced engine power and stabilitrak light. I was only 5 min away from home so got it home and didn’t drive the car after… I replaced the spark plugs and wires to see if that would help and the car still keeps misfiring.. only codes I’m getting are P0443,P0458,P06DA
any idea what it could be ? I’m tired of just throwing money into it and getting no results.

Exhaust leak or rough handling of the install resulting in a wiring problem.

Or your O2 sensor wiring got to close to the headers

Headers....x-pipe. Did you get a tune? You probably should as you've leaned it out. The ECM will compensate some.
