Not being familiar with the Prima pipe but having added an aftermarket exhaust to my RH50. Was there a restricter flange pipe inside the Prima? If there is one this will be why you have power loss. You would need to derestrict the pipe to get full power. In most pipes these are welded in and a Dremel like tool can be used to cut the restriction out.
