i think what he means is he lost low end torque. that happens on CAIs so its normal. but you're supposed to gain on top end.

The flex-pipe has gotta be creating some incredible turbulence in there.... which means not as much air that could be going into the engine is going into the engine because its bouncing off all the ridges in the piping and creating a back pressure.
Doesn't AEM make an extension kit?

And about the low end torque loss... I never noticed anything.
