Validate my exhaust laziness
So I bought an MSM a few weeks ago.
It is equipped with a full FM exhaust and downpipe. I am taking it to the dyno to retune and get a sense of the general potential of this setup but I have no idea about the health of the ceramic core cat on the downpipe. I purchased an ebay catless downpipe and a metal spun core Magnaflow cat because they were both really cheap with the intention of installing the cat and swapping downpipes, but if there is only a negligible difference in power/spool I may forego the work since due to some of the logistics of bringing parts to swap at the dyno shop, I would have to build a jig to install the cat beforehand to maintain fitment of the pipe when the swap occurs.
Is it worth my time to install said higher quality performance cat in place of the FM piece?
