I would not start looking at the cat until I checked the MAF, injectors, reset the ECU, cleaned out your AEM etc. I have an AEM and until I had the K&N sheild put on, it would bog a lot cause it was damp all the time. if it got really soaked it would actually really stutter and buck etc.

My bet is a dirty maf, old plugs, and a damp filter. Its not your cat.

maybe you're in too high of a gear and the car is out of it's efficiency range?

i cant see it being that im guessin the spark plugs because the car only does it ever so often and its wierd u kno i think it might be jus miss firing so im gonna change them first but it jus ticks me off that the dealership didnt find anything wrong with it at all
