Sounds like you're not firing on all four cylinders, did you move any wiring?

Or perhaps the headers are too close to some wiring and somethings melting/shorting etc.

have a good look around the bay

If you have fitted them to a new age just check the clearance between the manifold and the frount u shaped frount subframe they might be touching I got away with it because I have an anti lift spacer kit fitted to my car which lowers the frount subframe by about 10mm giving me a bit of clearance.
