Default Vtec is really slugish??

the only mod i have in my car is a Injen CAI and i know my cat needs to be change but my problem is when i cross over to in VTEC i can still feel the cross over but vtec is really slow but now is 10x louder then ever, do you think this could be caused by the cat or do i just need to clean out my K&N air filter or buy a new one???

I remember yesterday my vtec would cut out in the middle... first i thought:

a)sparkplugs
b)vtec solenoid
c)frustrated and clueless..

then i checked my oil.. nothing registered on the dip.. bought 2lts of catrol synthetic and she was purring in vtec like she always did = ) ... damn oil burning ****.
