Default Low End Power

After having my exhaust for a few days i feel that i lost my low end power. What mods do i need to do to get back the low end power i had. I start to feel the power after 3500 or 4000 ...its turned into a honda . I have fujita f5 CAI, header, corksport exhaust, TB ground, Monstaz advance timing, TWM SS. Would my rear motor mount help...i had epoxy in it and it felt incredible and i did feel like i gained low end BUT the vibration was not tolerable so i took the epoxy out.

well i had that in mind but i need 500$ to get my ECU re-flashed since i can't just take it anywhere and get it done. Want to donate? It runs pretty smooth, a lot more smooth then before, the take off is real smooth and mellow but i wish i had more of that umph that i had down low before.

I will say it again: Everything you do to a car, as in life, is a compromise. Add to one thing, in this case top-end power, lose something else, low-end torque.

The ground isn't gonna do it.In fact, it doesn't do much imo.
The advanced timing mod should help if anything, so that's not gonna do it either.
The shifter? How would that reduce low-end torque?
Same for the mount. A stiffer mount may make it easier to put down low end power, but not add to it.

The problem is no doubt in the design of your intake, which I warned you about before you bought it, in combination w/the exhaust and/or header.
If you feel you've gained top end power, then you have to live w/lost bottom end. That's usually the way it works.

some of the mods i put up there i know they don't help for power but i just put them there since i was just tihnking of what i did to the car so far. So you think if i was to change my intake i can gain some low end power? or get back what i have lost? But dam after 4000 the car puts you in your seat and sounds nice as hell!

Tbh, you didn't have much low end power to begin with...I've never seen a NA 4banger that does.

Actually the RSX Type S had a substantial more low end torq and power than previous generations of the Integra GS-R or Type R.
