Car dies after revving at 3k for 30 seconds

Ok so I've been using this site for months now so I know a decent amount but still a bit confused. I know it supposed to idle and then drop down to 1500 and the as it warms up to 750-800rpms. However after putting on a new eBay exhaust( old one was rusty and had many holes) it goes from 3k to stall unless I add some gas. Now I have used the variable resistor to bring the idle down to 800 or 750 and I could raise it but I'd rather have it be at what it should be. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

What all did you remove to do the exhaust?

Removed stock from manifold back. The sap is not hooked but anymore but that wouldn't cause it would it?

A vacuum leak could do this.

I didn't touch those though. I just did the exhaust and it didn't happen prior to that.
