exhaust ?, please help, thanks

alright any and all would help. any comments even yes or no is fine. i have a y-pipe, test pipe, and 2 and 1/4 B pipe. i have the stock muffler on there also. so i was wondering, is the stock muffler holding me back from power i should have with those mods?? in other words, would a different muffler be better to let loose some more power, strait through and or some other kind. because i have the worst low end ever. ihave a VE auto. its been better but when i put those mods on it got worse. any help is appreciated, i just want my low end to be better so i can get a good launch. thank you.

mufflers doesn't add that much power. typical gains are like 1-3 HP
