Default Hybrid Sluggish after .. / suggestions please...

I've got a JDM b18c in my 95 coupe... I've been hybrid for about a month now. I'm still running stock exhaust, and threw on an Iceman intake for now.

My problem is, after driving around for about 20-40 minutes, the car seems really sluggish, esp on the lowend... (from startup till then, car is peppy as usual..) im sure after the car warms up and the outside temps take effect (80 degree weather) , yeah there might be a small decrease in performance, but it shouldnt be this drastic.

i did a search and it seems that someone had a problem a while back that their cat was fucked and after temps got up to par they really suffered a hit on performance. just figured i'd ask you guys to see what you think. TIA.

Is the Iceman a short ram or CAI intake? If it is short ram, that is your prob, I was running a shrot ram adn my car was sooooooooooooo sluggish, tehn I put in the second piece to amke cold air, and it picked up so much. Also, do you have a heat shield for the headers? I didn't on mine but had one fabricated and it decreased the temp under the hood dramatically too.
