I'd guess you have an exhaust/Header leaking under there. Looks to be the same side as the up-pipe is connected.

Going off what people have already said, the last thing on my mind would be lost power.

Get your headers replaced before you're looking at a burnt out wreck. Engine fires are very hard to put out.
