Well, sometimes those things happen even without any mods.

i installed an intake for a while...
it threw the ECU off and the car was hesitating like its lungs were spasming (to put it in human terms).
took it off - car runs fine.
if it had run fine i maaaaaaaaaybe would have kept it but the intake makes the car louder and i bought a lexus to have a quiet car so i sold it.
my .02.

Too much air? Maybe resetting the ecu would have helped a bit.
I got SRT intake+ecu...works like a champ...no hesitation at all.

I Put In An Intake And My Check Engine Light Won't Turn Off - I Also Became A Professional At Disconnecting / Reconnecting The Battery.
The Car Runs Fine Though.
