Unhappy overheating after headers installed

I would strongly suggest filling up your radiator, check for leaks and bleed air out of your coolant system. The only way the installation of a header would cause this would be if you removed a line and didn't hook it back up properly. Driving with no coolant in your radiator will cause severe damage to your engine if driven for an extended period of time.
