Unhappy please read I need help

Had a new OEM exhaust installed today, picked my car up, got it warmed up, gave it some juice, and it starts bogging and cutting out at around 4000 rpm it was like hitting a wall, the tach bounced around too. Drove it back to the dealer, went out with a mechanic and it quit for good.
When you try to start it, it turns over and over but doesn't start. This is an 88T2 bone stock. I just finished running fuel system cleaner. It has NEVER done this anything like this before.

Please respond if you have ANY idea or advice.

Thanks

Have you checked-No fuel or no ignition? Possibly when working on the car might have hit/disconneted wiring.

kinda seems like your secondaries arent coming on at all. I can't think of any wiring that they could have unplugged during exhaust work that would have done this. check all the wires and connectors for your secondaries. Thing is--even without the secondaries, it should still start, right? hit the basics--fuel, air, spark. When you say exhaust, are you talking about a cat-back or the whole thing?

yeah-the leak shouldnt cause it not to start anyway. pull the plugs and see how much fuel is on them. can you smell it flooding when you try to start it or anything? I would check for fuel first. Once you know you have that look for spark. How old are the plugs, and have you replaced or adjusted anything else lately? How many miles on it?

I can't smell fuel when I try to turn it over.

Plugs are 7 months old, but the car ran fine yesterday.

about 40000km on rebuilt motor. Haven't done anything esle, other than I ran fuel system cleaner through on my previous tank of gas till it was bone dry.

Again, the car ran fine yesterday, there's been nothing building up over time that I've noticed.
