It sounds like it was running fine before the header install, and the problem started afterward.

If this is the case, you probably have a damaged spark plug and/or plug wire. It's fairly common when doing header swaps if you don't replace the plugs after the headers are bolted up, or the plug wires aren't fully seated.
