Default RE: New Exhaust=Power Loss?

Since you are running a larger exhaust pipe and running no cats, you are losing backpressure. Because of this you have lost all of your low end torque, for higher rpm horsepower. You amy not feel any of that horsepower because you have a bottlenecked top end(heads, cam, and intake). Had the same problem when I added full exhaust and it was deffinetly noticable after I installed my off-road X.
