Loss of power after installing invidia n1?
I just recently put on an invidia n1 exhaust and I’m feeling a little loss in torque? Can this happen or am I just going crazy ?

Yes, depending on the diameter of your exhaust you can shift the power band.
Ideally you'd want to add an intake, exhaust manifold, highflow cat or delete, and the exhaust and then re-tune to get an idea of where your gains/losses are. (usually you won't see any losses, but it can happen)
It also could just be 'perceived' loss of torque where you are feeling more torque later in the RPM range compared to originally when you would feel 'torque' earlier.

Everything about engine design is a compromise; the vast majority of go-fast goodies for cars will shift the sweet spot for engine torque and power. The fact is, adding aftermarket intakes and exhausts almost always allow engines to develop a bit more power up near redline while at the same time reducing mid-range torque. Fact of life.
