exaust
 
well.. I recently got new exaust installed... I was really excited because I was so sick of the stock sound... and dual flow masters really woke my car up. But now I am kinda annoyed because I feel a big drop in horsepower... the car just isnt wanting to go. Any chance it might be because I need more air intake?
I thought that might be an easy solution so I am ordering a BBK CAI.... What do you guys think?

I give it three three thumbs up.

I couldn't see a cold air intake hurting anything, but depending on what size exhaust you put on your car you may not be able to compensate for any torque you may have lost. Opening up the intake, installing a bigger camshaft, putting on new exhaust, etc., all change the power band and engine airflow/resonance and put torque higher in the RPM band (more top end/horsepower), if the airflow of the engine doesn't match you can actually lose power or have less noticable power at lower rpm's. What size exhaust did you have installed?
If you get a higher ratio axle gear set you can get your engine in the power band faster and you'll feel a huge improvement in acceleration.
