Default Shaking while shifting

Not everytime, but quite often when shifting from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd my car shakes and kinda sputters. Someone once told me its because of my ram air intake, anyone?

Its like the engine stutters because it affects the exhaust sound too...start stop start again...stutters then goes.

Default Yeam mine too =/

I know what you mean. My car does that too sometimes. When i shift, say from 1st to 2nd the car will hesitate just a little then go. It just im not getting enough fuel or spark when i initiate the new gear. Im gonna try changing my plugs cuz they're due anyway. Any suggestions? Are the 'universal indexing' spark plugs any good?
