Wagon is acting up. What could it be?

Pretty sure i got this in the right spot.

SO today I am goign out to run soem errands and even just pulling out of the driveway i notice it is being very sluggish to get going.

And then it is fine until i get out of the neighborhood and does it again right as I am getting on the freeway.

It feels like when you start out from a stop and you are at too low of a RPM. Thats how it starts and kinda jerks a little bit. Even did it when i started out of the red light at 3000rpm. I am not getting any check engine lights or anything so i dunno. After a while it was fine and didnt do it again til i was almost back home. Did a lot of driving though in between and it was fine for the most part.

Any suggestions? It is still under warranty so I am gonna take it in on monday but i didnt know if anyone knew what this might be. Prestige doesnt have the best track record for figuring **** out when i first go in so maybe i can help them.

I am starting a new job and i do not have time for this ****.

Its a 2006 WRX Wagon, 26,000 miles. My only mods are SPT intake and SPT exhaust. Let me know so I can hold Prestige's hand to get it fixed.

Thanks in advance

-Ryan

I am gonna have to go with Ryan. Its probably just a vaccum leak. My car was just doing the same thing the other day, and one of my vaccum lines popped off. Simple fix, but makes you freak out and think your car is gonna break.

Thanks. I was thinking maybe dirty fuel filter but I ruled that out pretty quick.
