hard to judge the seat of the pants feel without dyno or track tests to confirm. perception can play a big part, maybe the louder sound of the older system with mufflers under the floor made you think it was faster? just a guess but really hard to compare after a few years.
the X pipe & mandrel bent system should definitely make more power, engine masters & many other places say X pipes create more power & i would assume that means for torque too... but on a stock engine with manifolds the gains are probably minimal compared to a higher hp engine with headers that would benefit from it more.
