Truck stutters....help me out

After a 10 hour install of headers on my 05 silverado 5.3l, i took it out for a drive and now it drives like shit. When i hit the gas it stutters untill about 3500 rpms than it starts driving fine. I have no idea what is wrong.

Double check you plug wires. Also check for any exhaust leaks. The ecu is sensitive to the 02 sensor reading faulty due to exhaust leak.

Reset the ECU. It may be freaking out a little because of the difference in exhaust flow now.

It was a cracked spark plug. We didnt take the plugs out befor install because we didnt think that they would get cracked. I reset the ecu and the check engine light went off so I should be all set. Thanks for the help.
