Installed 2.5" duals / Ported TB noticable power loss?? I just went from 3" Xpipe Sweet thunder Duals to 2.5" Xpipe twister duals and installed a Bo White TB at the same time and the car feels slower. I even took a friend for a ride that confirmed my feeling 
It has a noticable miss at idle as well.
It was also time to change oil so I went from GC 0 w30 to Dino Mobil 10 w 40 due to oil consumption and piston slap. Do you think this would affect my HP? Piston Slap has decreased however the motor seems to be noiser when hot so that could be triggering knock retard
I did run around with open headers for a couple of days so I guess the o2 could be affected but I'm not sure?
Any help would be appreciated..
