My main concern is that with the kink in the exhaust I'm losing power. A LOT of power on the top end. 15whp to be exact since I use to make power all the way up to 8k and now my powerband plateaus at 6.8k. I went to get a retune after I swapped from CNT exhaust to litespeed and I highly doubt the exhaust itself is causing the loss as most people seem to have no issues with it and I didn't realize the kink was so bad till I looked over it again.
Dude, hate to say it, but I don't think an exhaust kink would result in that kind of top end fall off. A greatly reduced flow capacity would, however...

Wasn't the CNT a true dual with an X pipe?
