Default Trouble turning over following exhaust install?

My Vibrant has been on now for almost two weeks. Maybe it's just coincidence, but ever since the install, i've been noticing the car having trouble turning over/periodic idle fluctuation. The initial spark/ignition happens, but the rpms get really low and fluctuate until it eventually settles down and levels off. No performance loss that I can tell.

Is there anything glaringly related to the exhaust install that could cause this symptom?

try getting out from under the car before you attempt to turn over
