Question Would a Catback Make much Difference?

Wondering what you guys think a New Catback would
do for my track times over just my muffler, or is that just a
near waste of money?

I currently have the stock catback piping w/Hooker Muffler.
My best time is 12.44 @ 109.8 - 1.83 60ft. on Nitto 275/40/17 DR
Car Traps between 109 and 111.

Set up is 98 z28 A4 - needs a tune
with SY3500, T1 Cam, LTheadrs, ORY, Lid, Hooker Muffler and NITTO DR.

Just wanting some input - Thanks

I don't think you will see much of a gain if any to be honest. Try a cutout instead.

An electric cuttout from QTP gets my vote. I run it and the stock cat-back. VERY stealthy!
