Well I just got my car back from the shop, with all mods in my sig,and it feels less torqy is this normal? Maybe because of the longtubes and high flow cats?
Any advice please

"feels like i'm making more noise than going".

One part of that is you lowered the gear ratio, and thus you will be revving a lot higher to achieve the same speed, ie: making a lot of noise without achieving prior speed. Combine that with a lack of proper tuning, and you likely have your problem.

Now figure in that you have done several things that will bring the power higher into the rpm range (intake spacer, better flowing exhaust, porting), and it's not surprising that you lost low-end torque.

you need a tune. im still running a basic email tune for the stock motor on my H/C/I stuff

doesnt feel much faster than stock at all, im waiting on the turbo to put it on the dyno

You altered your exhaust system. You basicly traded in low end torque for more high end torque. So your takeoffs are weaker while your drive are stronger.

A proper tune should help a little.
