Power problems have risen for this 06'

Hey guys, here are my mods and here is what happened.
K&N Filtercharger
Test pipes
Y-pipe
MREV
My car has been incredibly slow in the upper rpms (3500+) ever since I got all these mods. The MREV added some torque down low but i'm still losing power up top. I actually have tested my car against another 06 with only an injen intake and nismo exhaust and he keeps pulling. I'm wondering if the ecu is to blame. Any thoughts?

I may be wrong, but I think something has changed with the ECU in 06. The test pipes may be causing problems. This is a wild guess though. Try resetting the ECU and see if that helps short term...if it gets slower over time the ECU is compensating for something, my first guess would be the test pipes.

Yeah, my K&N filter gummed up my MAF on my WRX and played havoc with me for a couple weeks until I finally figured it out. I had a loss of power and detonation because of it. I would switch back to your stock filter since that is an easy fix and see if it helps. Next, I would see if you can borrow your friends MAF to see it that fixes it. Again, easy test and switch. If that fails it will probably be your test pipes.

I think you over oiled your filter. Try replacing it and see if it helps. Also I would recommend a reflash. Usually once you do HFC's/TPs a reflash will help out.

I'm still trying to figure out....what mods do you have that are supposed to trump an injen cai and a nismo exhaust?? You have test pipes, and MREV (Which transfers some of the power from the top to midrange)....seems to me like a full exhaust is better than a Y pipe & test pipes.
I'm still trying to figure out how you are gonna win.
