Default 2003 ram 1500 Stalling/shaking at idle

Okay so first thing to note is that 2 days ago I put on duel R/T exhaust from a 2014 Ram 1500. While driving to work today I stopped at a stop light and about 5 seconds after coming to a complete stop it flat out died. No warning at all. And then it started right back up, no problems whatsoever. After that everytime I hit a stop light I watched the tac to see if it stalled again. Everytime I stopped the truck would shake a bit the needle would drop super low and then bounce back up, and the truck would idle high. I'm thinking my intake might not be sufficient for the exhaust? But I don't know all that much so I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks!

I will assume it was not doing this until the exhaust? Double check plugs you may have disconnected. Check for melted plugs.

Yeah it was fine before. I was running it straight piped (cats still on) for about 4 months. I put the exhaust on on Sunday and today it started stalling and shaking only at idle. We didn't disconnect anything so I'm not sure what to check plug wise.

Its possible the cats are not compatible. Are you any codes?

Nope no codes. My buddy suggested I disconnected the battery and let the computer reset itself since I've been running it so long with no back pressure
