S4 N/A, mild aux. streetport, no emissions

I've recently run into a problem, my car is idling at a rock solid 750rpm. Normally that would be a good thing, except I'm not sure why. Landers removed the emissions with a rebuild about 8 years ago and ever since then I've had a bouncing idle, the car dies at under 1k, idling high, etc. Basically everything except a good idle.

I recently put on a RB catback and ran into a snag. I cross threaded a bolt so the ypipe sits about 3/4" away from the presilencer, making a super awesome exhaust leak. Anywho, since then I've had the rock steady idle. That I can think of I haven't change anything else. I haven't been under the hood in a while except to change the oil.

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to why?
