Default R53 power loss, no SC whine

Hello, i recently got an 05 R53 and the car seems slower than expected and i cannot hear the supercharger when accelerating, a bit on low RPMs but guessing the horrible exhaust noise drowns it out in higher RPMs.

The previous owner cut the rear mufflers and the exhaust job is pretty bad since it has a 180 degree bend in it.

I will be doing the exhaust properly in the next few days but wondering if that could be the reason of power loss or it might be something with the engine?
The car also has a rough idle.

I cleaned the throttle body, checked all the hoses and vacuums and everything seems good.

Here is a log i did with the Torque Pro app in 3rd gear, can someone check if the parameters seem ok or is there something wrong?




Also pic of the awful exhaust job.
