Have your cats checked, ESPECIALLY your pre-cat. It's more likely to clog first.

Two years ago, my pre-cat was so badly clogged, IT glowed bright red...before popping. I had the most sinister sounding exhaust note ever! (^_^)

From the list of modifications, it appears you have not changed your computer. Could it be that you did not do this? Did you install the O2 sensor back in the downpipe?

Either your stock is reading lean at idle, and the computer is automatically throwing fuel by the buckets full into the engine, or you may have the aftermarket computer mapped too rich at startup.
