Default Muffler delete

Yesterday I done a muffler delete on my 2009 c6 ls3. It sounds amazing but feels like I lots a lot of low end torque. I have the 6-speed manual. So when I put in first and leave a stop sign it feels like it falls on its face and then it picks up. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I am also wondering will an x pipe fix this?

thanks for your time.

The stock pipe to me is crap. I have LT headers just got on my AKRAPOVIC 3 inch x pipe with no cat's at all sound really great & better without the one set of cats on the car. Took me 2 months to find a person to be able to weld this stuff for me here in town. With no cats really sound great on these c7... Robert
