Default no low end torque

So i just installed my x pipe and mufflers a couple days ago and all my low end torque seems gone, i wasnt expecting it to feel faster. But it feels actually slower at regular street launches. Either that or my clutch decided to start slipping, but if the clutch was slipping the rpms would still climb i think so it cant be that. Just kidna bogs down, well my tune and intake should be here in 4 days. Has anyone had this same problem though? Sounds great, no performance. ( i havnet told anyone, just let them think im fast until my tune gets here)

I've heard of this as a possibility, never seen it verified. and it may even be a coincidence this happened but I've heard that the lack of back-pressure causes a loss in torque, which is why some people prefer the h-pipe. although realistically, as stated above, after the tune, you'll be fine.

Even with me h pipe i noticed the loss down low......a tune takes care of all of it though
