Sounds like it's carboned up.

dont run without an exhaust dude.. or it will lean out and cause the world to spin the other way if your not running the correct input parameters on the flux capacitor 
But yeh I'd say your up for a banana exhaust or something of the like. Maybe check your plug too after a wot sesh to see if ur running a tad rich.

Many of the new exhaust pipes have a 'honeycomb' catalytic converter in them that will clog up with un burnt oil. 
What oil ratio are you running? If you're following the kit instructions and using a 16:1 mix it's a good bet your muffler is getting oil fouled.
Try cleaning the exhaust system and dropping down to no more than a 24:1 fuel to oil ratio.
Let us know what you find. There are other things we can look at that could cause your loss of power.
Whatever, do not run your engine without the exhaust/muffler. You'll be replacing the engine very soon if you do, and your neighbors will be forming a lynch party.
