Anyone lose torque after charge pipe upgrade?

[Alvinized52]

Hey all! I recently just upgraded my stock charge pipes to aluminum ER charge pipes and I feel like Im losing some of that torque. Not sure if its just some kind of placebo effect.... My Car seems to pulls faster at high end...but i feel like im losing some low end torque. Pedal seems softer or "airier" and looser when I gas the pedal.... I dont know how else to describe it. It feels different... Not as torquey as before. Im Not sure if its just in my head because I hear the intake spooling more now. Is this normal? Thoughts, anyone?


Btw, No audible signs of leaks . But i should mention I dont have a tune yet... nor Down pipes. I do have Eventuri intakes however.
