Idling problem after a exhaust install.

I hope some one can help.

I went to local exhaust shop and had a 3 inch exhaust made. (Catback. after the mid pipe)

It kind of looks like the BUSCHUAR dual exhaust but without the muffler or resonator. Just straight 3 inch.

For the first couple of days. Car was a rockstar. It pulled lot harder on the top end. idling was awsome.

But on the third day. It started having idling issues. (Very rough, it felt like before the initial factory reflash)

I reset the ECU and car seems to be doing better but idling is still bit rough and car seems to rev then engine once in a while in neutral.

Help??? Any one????

OH. Also, when I roll to a stop and get in neutral. it takes forever the RPM to die down to idling...

Get an obdII scanner and check your trims.

When did you purchase your intake? Do you have a shield on your intake? Let me know!

It was a while back. like 1st quarter of this year. No shield on the intake...

I do have idling issues after I installed the intake. but it just got worse now. (It was livable idling issue after the intake install but after exhaust. dangg!!!)
