Well, my fears of an exhaust leak have been confirmed. Had the top and doors off this weekend and I could hear the ticking sound of a leak during low speed light acceleration. Then I got a CEL that can be caused by an exhaust leak near the upstream O2 sensor. I'm starting to see the value in paying a competent performance shop to do the install. Getting all the exhaust pipes properly aligned and leak-free must be one of those things that just requires the magic touch of an experienced mechanic.
I'll report back when I get it fixed. There is a slight possibility that the leaks could be significant enough that i'll notice performance/driveability improvements after fixing them.
