I have seen muffler baffles get loose and plug the exhaust it can happen also.
Unfortunately it drove in the same exact way when I took the O2 sensor out. It sounded awesome though.
Also forgot to mention I have an aftermarket muffler and the resonator was deleted.

The cat could be an issue but i'm not so sure now. Nevertheless i'll replace it soon because it's the original -- and very rusty.

Could something be up with the transmission? It only stumbles/hesitates most noticeably when it goes right into 3rd gear.
