How much power am I loosing with this MIDAS-made x-pipe?(pics)

Recently I had my xpipe chopped up to fit my longtubes. Bad idea, they used a pipe bender and if i would have sold the xpipe nad bought a prochamber it probably would have came out cheaper. Oh well too late now, anyways im worried about how much power I lost with these bends:

It costed me $60 and I gave the guy a $10 tip. The longtubes totally killed the way my exhaust sounded. I loved it before but now its waaay to quiet. Thats what I was afraid of but I need the power. I was gonna invest in a Borla side exhaust kit but I cant because of my subframes. So am I loosing a decent amount of money from these bends?

it doesnt look too bad. it does suck how much more quiet the LT's are but the sound is better i think. im going to be running dumps sometime soon cause i want the loudness back. i dont think it is holding you back too much at all but i personally would have sold the old one and bought a new one

THe passanger side is pretty ****ty. The driver side is pretty good. The passanger side ...well he put more bends in there then needed. You still doing much better then stock. S/F John

Yeah now I wish I would have but oh well. 5-10 hp loss?

I don't really see the need for those bends. Seems like they overcomplicated the job.

In any case, I doubt that you're losing any power at all. At least not any that is effectively measurable, maybe 1 hp at the most.

I dunno. But you are probably not gaining any money.

Awwww.......ya beat me to it!!!!

Like said before, they are much better than stock. So I doubt you lost any.

If you did, it's negligable.
