Yes and no!!!!!! Below 2200 rpm you will lose some torque due having less backpressure. However it is minor, and the amount you gain up top is well worth the slight loss on the bottom end. You have two solutions to remedy this:
1. go to a taller gear (it will get you into the power band quicker)
2. If you're an A4 get a converter, if your an M6 rev higher before you drop the clutch.

I gained 20 RWHP over my 98 stock exhaust with my old heads and cam. I say for $35 it was the best bang for the buck.
