Default Exhaust vs. low-end

I recently replaced the factory muffler with 40 series flowmasters and removed the resonators on my magnum r/t. Absolutlely love the sound; although it seems as though I've lost a little on the low-end. The top-end is strong, but sitting a red light and a mustang pulls up, I want to be able to smoke it. I've added the K&N CAI and exhaust, but haven't saved up enough blow money for a performance chip or programer. Before I add the programer, I want to bring back my low-end. Any suggestions??? Thanks

try this:

Pull fuses # 11-14 &16
Get in car turn to "on"
then turn to "start" (it won't)
Hold for 5-10 seconds until you hear a chime.
Hold for another 5-10 seconds until you hear a second chime.
Replace fuses
Your done

Also some people say you can simply reset by pulling fuse 11 for atleast 30 min. That may or may not work.

This did!

I,ve got to ask - what does that fuse pulling/cranking the engine reset?

the motor won't actually crank with the fuses out. this trick will reset the computer adaptive learning and help the car adjust to the new combination must faster.

I lost low-end torque when I cut out my x pipe & suitecase and replaced w/a DynoMax Ultra Flow X muffler (single muffler w/3" internal pipe and X over). A while later I installed Corsa CATBack and regained what was lost.

I think there may have been too much flow through with that exhaust setup.
