in that case, take it to Auto Zone or some place that will scan codes for free and tell you what the issue may be.

Did it just start doing this out of the blue? What type of mods have you done recently? How many miles on the stock cats?

sound like it starving for fuel. Thats how my car was acting after i did my h/c/i and didnt upgrade my fuel pump...I agree have it scaned for codes, but also look into changing your fuel filter and maybe pump. Might just need a good tune up though too
