Default Could a 3" exhaust be too much for a chipped 1.8T...

I feel like I am losing low end torque.
Could It be possible

Default Yes!

When I put my 3" exhaust on I didn't realize how much torque I had lost. It felt like I may have lost some, it did not seem significant. After a year, I became extremely tired of the loudness of it, so I put the oem exhaust from the midpipe (3" downpipe was going into the stock exhaust). The first I thing noticed was not that I had a quiet car once again, but it was how much torque I had gained. Going back to stock added a very noticeable amount of torque. Of course, I had lost some horsepower.
