Loss of power! Please help!

I bought two Knox mufflers last week, i'm waiting for my car to come out of repair and i'll install them and let you know if it makes any changes, i was going to buy this trust cat-back system but somebody else bought it and there's no any other in stock in the whole country, so i bought two Knox mufflers and i'll custom install and let you know.
Thanks.
PS: When i first bought my car it had a single cat back exhaust, i changed it back to stock exhaust bcoz it was too loud and gave me headaches. About the problem, it didnt change a thing after i switched to the stock. I dont think it's exhaust related but i'll let you know when i install my new mufflers.
Thanks.

Did you check the muffler bearings?

Latest Update
Sorry i havent been updating since september 30. Like i mentioned before, i was going to test like 10 tanks of 100 OCT unleaded then let you know. It's now around the 15th tankfull of 100 OCT unleaded i'm using and till last week i had problems still. A mech i met told me it might be about the valve seals, he said also your high oil consumption (which was really crazy like a liter in two weeks) might be related to that. So i said what the f it's cheap, i went to Honda and ordered 8 valve seals for intakes, 8 for exhausts and a engine head gasket. I had them all changed last week and i'm testing the car right now, seems ok but hasnt been half a tank yet so i can't know for sure. When my mech opened my engine's head he said the valves were covered with a lot of carbon and my seals were really bad, i saw tham later and they were. We cleaned all valves, installed new seals and seems ok now. I'll test the car for two weeks and let you guys know.
Thanks, sorry for the late reply.
