Car feels slower with exhaust???

I had a Kinetix V4 Plenum and and Injen CAI, then I added Kinetix High Flow Cats and an Injen SES Straight Tip Dual Exhaust and now my car feels slower. The cats and plenum together are supposed to add 18whp. I don't get it.

I know that the plenum and intake are on correctly because they have been there for a while. If the exhaust wasn't sealed all the way I would think that there would be an exhaust leak resulting in a loud popping sound, and there is none of that.

All of the mods combined can make your car run lean. You can fix this by getting a ECU reflash or a piggyback. I would recommend technosquare for a reflash or UTEC if you want a piggyback.

My apologies for bogging down the high flow of traffic here. I'm also sorry for answering an unanswered question that someone may also have. I'm also sorry that I opened the technicle section and responded to a post that was on the first page.
