I have a Mongoose exhaust and in my limited experience with Cossies, i would be 99.9% certain that your exhaust is not blocked as it if was, i think it would simply cut out rather than under perform.

Check for spark plugs maybe or air leaks, just sounds like something has come off somewhere, but i wouldnt bother taking you exhaust off for sure !!
