installed xpipe and now....
it feels like i lost power. i have pypes o/r xpipe, jlt ram air intake, slp lm2 catback. no leaks or anything and i didnt even get a check engine light. i thought with an o/r x pipe u need mil eliminators? it may just be me or maybe it changed my powerband slightly. idk but it feels off. maybe i need a tune. what do you guys think? has anyone had a similar experience? i know you cant go by the butt dyno. thanks

iv heard you can lose bottom end torque, i didnt notice anything when i installed my O/R Hpipe. and the only reason you need mil eliminators is to trick the computer into thinking you stiil have rear cats so you CEL dosent stare you down as you drive

My car felt the same way after the x pipe install, didn't have MIL eliminators either. Took it to sniper and had them turn the CEL off and it ran like a champ.

Did you go from stock catted h to o/r x? Prob the the loss of back pressure makes the car seem sluggish. Just feels that way, minimal notices on the dyno I would think.

you'll lose some backpressure, but mostly you didn't tq it just moved higher up in the powerband. Put some gears in it you'll be fine.
