Yeah, if he's OBD2 and got a bad o2 sensor, the ecu will more than likely throw a CEL. The same should happen for OBD1 but it will run crappy due to it being in open loop.

OBD1 and OBD2 are just the versions of ecu's. Yeah the difference is the sensors. OBD2 is a pain in the *** and is a bitch to tune without throwing CEL's. OBD1-92-95 OBD2-96-2004... There was also an OBD2B in there from 98+. Not that that matters, but your not getting any check engine lights are you? Like greddy said, start by trying to lean it out and see if that is the soloution.

Oh, shyt I didn't see that hammer in the head for me. yeah it's running like shyt because A: your AFc wiring is messed up, or B: (99.995% sure) because your o2 sensors are not working properly with the open downpipe. Get the code and let us kow what it is. You could be in "limp mode".

get the code? as in take it somewhere and have them hook up the tester or is there a way to just have the car give me a code like turning the ignition on and off a few times and see how much it blinks? does that work on hondas i havnt had to try it on this car yet.
and im positive my AFC is hooked up correctly.

There should be a "jumper" service connector near the passenger side kick panel. Put a paper clip in there, and see how many times the check engine light flashes. remember to write it down because you'll need to look up what the numbers mean. More than likely it's going to be the o2 sensor code
