Default piping or my exhaust clogged up???

hi guys run it to a weird problem today, i don't know how to explain this i wish i had it on a video. but anyways, i was driving today and decided to punch it from a dead stop but i soon as i gas it up to 4000rpm i felt something clogging up my exhaust system so i went on 2nd gear and gas it again to 4000rpm to see if it will still feel clogged up and it is and it made the whole car vibrate. so i pulled up to a near by gas station and check it out, i went under neat the car and check if i can see any visible damage but nothing. anyways started the car back up and it runs fine now, no more clogging up sound. anyone know what i'm talking about? or have experience something like this? by the way when i punched it on 1st gear it supposed to feel fast and all, instead with the clogging up sound and the vibration it made the car feel like a go-cart, i mean i floored it any it was still going about 15 mph on 1st at 3 to 4000 rpm.

Could it be a slipping clutch?

sounds more like your traction control was on. Make sure traction control is off or it will feel this way.

I dont think its wheel hop, it feels like something is blocking my exhaust and preventing me from accelerating

I had my stock cats blow out of my 08 just after I got it...do you see any white ceramic residue in the exhaust pipes? this could cause a plug...

it really seems like your traction control was on... I'm OCD about turning mine off. Every once in a while I'll forget to and I'll gun it and it feels like someone stole about 300 hp from me. especially if you are noticing it at 4k rpms in 1st and 2nd. You're stock fuel system is good to about 650rwhp before looking into larger injectors and/or BAP.

Try going out and driving in 1st and 2nd with and without traction control. Get up to about 3500-4krpms and give it full throttle
