I dont know what it is but my car doesnt feel the same anymore. Just feels like it's lost a little bit. I know after i put my muffler bypass pipes on that i lost the low end torque but that was 2 years ago and now it feel alittle worse. Not a clue what it could be clutch?Injecters?Gas filter? if anyone has any ideas please throw them my way thanks.

This have happen to me for every car I have owned. For me, I was just used to it and it feel slow.

Fix = drive a corolla for a week then get back in your car. Should feel better.

My daily driver is an SUV. After driving the 996 I describe driving the SUV as trying to sprint while drunk with sprained ankles wearing a backpack filled with bricks.

Solution: Rent a 4-banger for a week and then whala, your HP should be back....

Other Solution: Don't drive it as often so when you do it will feel good each and ever time you get in...
