I would think a simple pressure gauge before and after the muffler would tell the story.

IMO its money well spent, but just the muffler, the guys that drop a grand on the corsa cat backs are just throwing money away. the factory pipes flow just fine.

Thing is at what point do you not believe what a truck puts down on a dyno?

I personally seen a truck on the dyno gain 15hp to the wheels going from stock to Corsa.
