car some times missfires when I blip throttle

This only happens in 1st gear intermittently when staitionary when I blip the throttle and occasionally it has a tiny hesitation when pulling away in 1st gear.

It seems to be since I had a aftermarket exhaust fitted. first Tubi, then Design Tek now Milltek.... all the same.

Had Maf replaced recently.

Its nothing serious but just bugs me.

anybody had similar or can give any advice?

thanks

thanks, will get it checked.

had CEL come on a few weekd ago but it disappeared after I fitted new battery.

is there anything I can buy to check fault codes myself? instead of taking it to dealer

you can still have codes without the check engine light being on.

i bought the Durametric cable and sotware. it ran me about $250 but i can now clear codes myself and also log the car as far as AFRs and such....

What about a bad oxygen sensor? I had one go bad and the car was hesitating, etc.
