clogging?

i got my true duals done about a month ago

and it ran fine for a while and then mabye 2 weeks ago i got a full take of gas and sometimes when i drive it and i drive around 2500 it feels like its clogging or something

i thought it was bad gas but ive ran all that gas out so who knows.

i have a little miss at idle i think im gonna try and change the spark plugs see how that helps.

Do you still have cats?

Misfires cause the engine to run excessively rich. That can foul plugs, damage the cats, load up the O2 sensors, etc.

If the cat was plugged it would run bad and would not get better as you reach higher rpm's. If one was plugged it and the manifolds might glow red.

Are you sure that its "clogging", and not just running poorly and misfiring?
