Straight pipe, possible loss of power?

Deleted the muffler on friday and it seems i lost some power. Doesn't feel the same. Is it possible? Thoughts?

I think it's in your head man. I have a straight pipe and if anything I think it makes my turbo spool faster and my truck quicker. Idk anything is possible
