loose of TQ after jet hot install HELP

I just got done putting a set of jet hot long tube headers and a hooker Y pipe on my 93 procharged TA , now it seams to have lost a lot of TQ I watched my knock sensor on a scanner and its not seeing any knock that was my first thought it just feals dead on the bottom end, it pulls hard up top for the most part. any ideas guys.

Sounds like you might have switched two of the plug wires, or have a bad wire

Do you have dyno before? dyno after and see if its in your head or real. Noise makes the mind do wierd things.

How bad is the header leak Ron? it might be sucking air into the exhaust and making the 02 read lean and adding more fuel then you need. Usualy you lose some lower end but with the boost your running I am little suprised it would be that much.

I can hear it leaking a little bit its not real bad I just got another set of gaskets im going to put on to try to fix it, but I dont think that little leak would make for this kinda power loose
