You loss power at low ends or High end or all over?

Your car's engine works on vacuum pressure. If your exhause falls off, then yes, you will loose power at low ends. Is your exhaust stock or aftermarket?

yea i drove over a speed bump a few weeks ago and it broke my midpipe right at the cats flange, so i had to do some temp work, i lost a bit of low end power but gained alot of high end power.

Was it just a leak in the exhaust or did it fall off outright? Cuz just a leak can really **** your flow.
