Default Exhaust question?

I am just wondering am I losing any power by running basically an open X pipe? The mufflers for my custom TD system did not fit correctly, so I have no rear mufflers. It is basically a copy of the TSP system, except with no mufflers. I just don't think my car picked up alot from when I just had a Borla catback. Any opinion is wanted. Thanks.

It should work ok but not as much scavenging unless the pipes are closed and each bank of the xpipe goes down a different path. Should be fine until you get real mufflers and more piping.

Mine dump before the rear mufflers. I feel down on power with them that way for sure. Good for the strip though.
