Test Pipes making the car limp : (

I need help. I just installed my test pipes after waiting three weeks for my car to come back from the shop. I installed them and now I am throwing a code (obviously) that is putting my car in "limp mode" The car is only going to 2,400 rpms and bouncing off of that as if it was the red line. I have unplugged the battery for ten minuets in an attempt to reset the ECU. No luck... What should I do now??? do I need a new flash for the ECU? I need help

What else have you done to the car? Was the shop reputable?. Listen and see if you can hear an air leak... maybe the gasket is loose. Either way try resetting the ECU with the pedal dance. http://www.technosquareinc.com/350reset.htm
Hopes this helps

Make sure your MAF sensor is plugged in. A 2400rpm limiter typically means one of two things:

1) unplugged MAF
2) broken MAF
