Question Problems with compression?

I had strait pipes with smoke stats installed on my 93 f250 7.3 l diesel, and Ive been having troubles starting it when its cold. I was just wondering if it was cause Im losing compression with the exhaust?

Starting problems when it is cold are from glow plug problems or battery problems.
I assume you meant stacks for the exhaust.
Mine has had stacks for 4 years now with no problems except it runs very good.
