just curious what you all think about this

SOMETIMES when under full acceleration in 2nd gear, it sounds like its breaking up like a misfire a lil and a pop or 2. i haven't checked my plugs in like 20k miles i'm thinkin that might be it. but i honestly wanan know what all of you think. the mods are catless midpipe, and intake. what else could this be car has 45k on it.

How many miles are on the plugs, you dont say. Mazda says 37k replacement. Some people have put more on them. What color are they when you take them out?

So it running better now? How many miles did you put on them and are they the original ones? Where and how much did you pay? They look like a good color! It will idel smoother for awhile.
