Loss of Power engine hesitates
I've recently had problems with my 95 5.0 Suggestions that I was given before was to check the catalytic converters to see if they were clogged. Basically the get up and go has got up and went. I would step on the gas and the car would either bog down or hesitate. So what I did was give the car a major exhaust upgrade. I've installed BBK 1 5/8 equal length headers, BBK 2.5" h-pipe with cats, and 2chamber 2 1/2" flowmasters. I thought that would help with the loss of power and hesitation but it didn't. It sounds nice though. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! <edited><editID>5ptOzdrivenonly</editID><editDate>37813.3863773148</editDate></edited>

True... I'll try replacing them and see what happens. What's weird is that sometimes when it hesitates and I have the thing floored, the rpm's stay at one spot (say 3k RPM) and it just bogs. So I let off the gas and take off again.

Another weird thing...I had a h-pipe w/out the cats before and the check engine light would come on probably because of the O2 sensors. Well I've replaced the H-pipe and now have cats again and new O2 sensors but the Check Engine light still flashes on and off. Weird.
