i'm not sure what's causing this. but there are a few different symptoms.
first and foremost, when i go to start the car, it sometimes take a while, like it'll crank and then kinda blub blub for a second and then idle normal. other times it'll catch but die, and when i crank it again it starts right up.
secondly, when i'm driving in third or fourth, around 2000 rpms, the car stutters. it'll kinda grain power, or lose it, and then come right back. mostly comes back because i give it a little gas. it's not a complete power loss, more like just really jerky and not fun to drive. this doesn't happen at higher speeds. i feel like it's because the exhaust is not restrictive at all, and it almost seems like when the exhaust burbles, this is happening. i'm at a loss and could use some help.
thanks in advance.

I don't know why it is still thought that a free flowing exhaust can hurt you. You do not need, or want, back pressure from the exhaust. I have a full 3" exhuast (no cat) and the car responds great whether in low or high rpm. How do you think cars can run just a short pipe(headers or downpipe) and end it there and call it they're exhuast? As far as your problem goes, I am also thinking it is a fuel problem.
