Default 5.4 revs high when started

Have an 01 5.4 7700 f150, 153k I just did the gotts mod and cut my muffler out and replaced with just a straight pipe. Also cleaned the throttle body and put a K&N air filter in. (factory replacement to go with the gotts mod). Now everytime i start it it revs way up to like 2500 rpms.

Anyone elses 5.4 do this?

Also before the mods i was getting 11 mpg on the hiway, havent checked yet with the new mods but will report back.

Did you reset the computer after all of the mods? I always reset mine after I do anything so that the computer can learn its new operating peramters.
