maybe all the holes had decreased the backpressure, and you had gained some power. Now, you've clogged it all back up again.

I assume with all those leaks patched it's now quieter than before right? Quieter often "feels" slower even when it isn't.

How did they "fix" it? Did they just patch up holes or did they actually replace pipes? if they just patched it up it's probably the cats are just more restrictive than when it had those holes.
