Motordyne ART Test Pipes Made My z Slow?
Today I had my ART pipes installed and was very excited. It sounds freakin amazing! But, I've lost a lot of power... I have a nismo s tune exhaust, 5/16" motordyne plenum spacer, mrev 2, nismo intake, and the test pipes now. Before I put the test pipes on the car pulled like a freight train, as soon as it hit 4k rpm I would be glued to my seat. I thought the test pipes were going to make it even faster, but now the best it does is like a tiny little push back in the seat, my old eclipse pushed me back harder than this.
Could there be an exhaust leak? It was done professional so idk how possible that is. Or do I just really need a tune? Ive been trying to get a tune but its a month and a half til they have an opening If the tune will help, will it just restore it to how fast it was before, or would it make it faster? Im a little disappointed...nothing against the ART pipes (the mechanic said they were the best aftermarket pipes he's seen) they sound amazing, I just thought test pipes would give me a little more umpf

When I had my test pipes installed earlier this year I immediately noticed a loss of torque. Sadly I've gotten used to it, but I will be getting a tune this month.

Resetting the ecu was the first thing i did when i noticed the loss in power...it didnt make any npticeable difference though. So now im going to take it easy on the car until i can get it into the shop. I kinda feel like im driving a ricer...it gets louder when i give it gas but not faster
