Custom piping

[Honda_guy58]

I recently had the muffler shop put a muffler on for me and they straight piped it. It feels a little slower now than before. Anyone know why?

Becasue you lost backpressure. There is a fine line on how much backpressure is needed to give a performance boost. Too much backpressure will make you slower, and too litle will also make you slower.

It feel good in high RPM's but bottom end sucks now.

I had the same problem, get a silencer to get some backpressure back.
