I think you are mistaking smoothness for lack of torque.

peaky often feels stronger but smooth often IS stronger.

Check out this AEM intake dyno. Look between 2100 and 3100, the blue line is stock. It's almost at 120 torque. The red line, aem intake is almost near 115 or lower. http://ft86speedfactory.com/images/411408DS-2.jpg


Anyway, I hope you guys are right and that it's just in my head but I love this exhaust and don't want to put the stock one back on bc I lost a couple tq's in the low end. I am afraid that tomorrow when my intake comes in, my low end will be even worse
