Default Losing power....please help!

Hi everyone, I just had a GHL exhaust installed along with an X pipe...not only am I losing power, but there is a terrible drone/vibration on hard acceleration and then when off the gas. Whats happening? GHL installed the exhaust at their facility and had to sell me a "new" X pipe because they said my Bassani X pipe didn't line up. I think they're screwing with me or they mistakenly sold me a bad product. Is it the Xpipe? Is it the exhaust system itself? Leaks? I'm very upset, especially after spending 850.00 Any suggestions? Thanks PS. when they rolled my car off the lift, they scratched both right and left rocker panels bad enough that I have to take the car in to be painted!

How do you know you are losing power? Did you dyno?

Maybe you are just not used to a loud aftermarket exhaust.
