Got my car fixed today

I posted a few weeks ago after the downpipe install that there was a loud noise comming from underneath the driver side of my car. My S4 basically sounded like a motorcycle. Well, I took it in on Monday and got it back today. I did have a leak where the stock manifold meets the downpipe. They tightened up the connection and put another clamp over it to make sure there would be no leak (Or at aleast this is what I got from what they told me) and when I drove home it sounded sooooooooo much better. No noise and it is quicker.

My question to you guys is, how badly did that leak hurt my dyno numbers? I posted my numbers which were extremely low (246 hp, 251 torque). I am happy I did the downpipes now seeing as they really open the car up.

Now I can't wait to drive the car whereas the last week or so I couldn't stand it because of the noise.
