Backfiring After Header Install

I just finished installing SLP headers. I cranked the car for the first time and is sounds great. The only problem is that is backfires occasionally. What could be the problem? I have checked all of the plug wires and they seem to be okay. Any ideas?

You may want to check your timing.

What an idiot. I switched the 2&4 spark plug wires when I put them back on after installing the headers. Everything is good now.
