could this possibly have made me lose power

i have a Bpipe,ypipe,and cold air and because my MAF blew to get full warranty i had to take my intake out.. so now im stuck with the Bpipe and ypipe(exhaust upgrades only) and now the car feels much slower and alot of cars that i shouldnt have trouble with are pulling on me,i know a cold air at most produces 5-6hp, but i have heard that an intake an ypipe combo produces extra power when working together,so have i lost about 5-6h or more??cause it sure feels more than 5-6 hp,i have 29,900 miles on it(2k1 auto),any suggestions would help

Get the MAF fixed and put your intake back on i guess....but i have heard through the board that the ghetto airbox makes the most horsepower out of all the intakes!

But also consider less sound it will make the car "feel" slower that it is. air temperature and the climate will also effect performance...im starting to ramble........donno
