Default How could this be?

I had my car tuned a couple months ago and put down 428hp on a mustang dyno. I went to the show at carlisle this weekend. They had a dynojet, I believe it was a 248. So i was expecting around 450hp on this dyno. After the runs were done I had a max of 365hp and 322tq What the hell is up with that? The only thing that was changed was the y pipe. My other one was shot, so I had one made. The garage made me a 2.5" crush bent pipe. It looks and probably flows like ****, but could it really cost me this much hp? My afr was also around 12.7 to 13.0 through the run. I would really appreciate some input

Why would you pay for a 2.5" crushed y pipe

And what are your mods, etc.. And where are you located?

Well if you went from a nice flowing 3" y pipe to a bent 2.5" ... its like running a 2" pipe really... so yea, i'd say it's dominating your setup pretty well.
