New exhaust/Intake "studdering"

Okay so I just had an AMS intake and AMS Turbo back exhaust with test pipe put on and used the Cobb Accessport stage 2 AMS map for it and all is well EXCEPT when I go WOT in 2nd gear it "sputters" all the way through 2nd gear, is it something related to my spark plugs? I do not believe that my clutch is slipping at all btw. Please help

Does the sputterings change with different plug gaps?

I have not changed it at all. Got the exhaust and intake put on and reflashed it and this happened.

Not really the same issue, but mine sputters too, but at low RPM's, it's fine at WOT. Cruising speeds at low RPM causes it to sputter though. I'm always having to drop a gear if It's sputtering and raise my rpm's a little.

Mine is strictly at WOT, its as if the clutch is slipping but it shouldnt be at all. I believe it has something to do with the plug gap or something related.

physics at work

If you let off the throttle or accelerate it will also go away. You are just hitting a harmonic of the exhaust.

On your setup stock heat range or a step colder is ok.

I had a similar issue when I first got my X, when I would go wot it would sputter terribly. At that time I had no modifications, come to fun out I had fouled plugs. After replacing them I had no more issues with that.
