Since my car seems to be a complete pile of crap ever since I put the headers on I was just wondering who all has headers installed on their cars and what problems came to fallow and how you fixed it. I know thats alot but I am completely lost and the car hasn't been driven in over a month because I'm so tired of it... Thanx guys!

What exactly are the problems you're coming across? Mine has been a noticeable improvement once installed. I only had a slight fitment issue, but I fixed that in couple minutes.
 
Maybe your EGR pipe is loose? Or you damanged your O2 sensor...
If so the vacuum system or air/gaz ratio could be seriously f***.

You haven't driven it in a month because you installed headers? Maybe that's the problem, the protege is only a 4-cylinder and can only handle 1 header. Where'd you stick the second one?
