Problem with the..."flow"

[boesewicht]

Hey guys.

I have an Eisenmann rear muffler and a replacement tube for the middle muffler (the muffler after the rear muffler). My problem is that the car lost power after installing that. My dad said it's because the whole exhaust system was designed to work for the best exhaust flow and when I take out one component it doesn't work well anymore. Don't know the diameter of this tube, but I thought that the exhaust would have less resistance when the muffler is out. But it seems that this is not correct. What can I do to solve this problem? What can I do to gain power not to lose power? catalyst and manifold are stock btw

Thanks. Alex.

that happens when you "strainght pipe", so to say, you have actually lost some low end torque, but your top end horsepower should be better. this same thing happened to my C280 when I did my exhaust. the reason this happened is because your car needs a little backpressure to run efficiently.
