Did you check everything to make sure that everything is connected properly, no leak or holes? cause if you got a Injen CAI put on, you should feel some sort of a gain even if you need new sparkies.

If it feels less than before then something must be wrong.

First: please don't post with a subject like "Helppp!!!!!!!!!!!" when your car simply lacks some power.
Before I clicked I thought maybe you ran over your girlfriend or something and wanted us to help hide the body.

Second:
Check for KS Code, replace if necessary - then change spark plugs - use NGK Platinums, replace fuel filter, remove your false sense of urgency, and drive.

lol, u're right, i just needed immediate answers and didn't want to keep bumping it.another friend of mines told me is it becase of the backpressure from the exhaust, he suggested that mabe increasing the piping size might help a little, not alot.
