Hey guys, got a question for you. I posted something about this a while back, but I didn't really describe it too well. So here goes a second shot at it.

My car has a weird sort of hesitation every now and then right after it shifts into 2nd. It'll go through first great, then it'll start in second and hesitate. This hesitation lasts about one half to one full second. After it quits hesitating, it will jump and get moving.

It isn't like it is fluttering or anything like that when it hesitates. It is more like it just sits at a certain steady RPM for about 1 second. After that, it reacts like I've suddenly pushed the pedal in halfway, but the whole time I've been holding the pedal insteadily.

This doesn't happen often. Actually, to tell you the truth, it hasn't happened since I got my new MAC exhaust on, which was a couple days ago. Strange. But in case it does happen again, what do you think could possibly be the problem?

Thanks.
