Default How much RWHP/RWTQ will I lose?

I've just finished installing my new Darton 427, but due to some unexpected delays, I won't have the new exhaust system installed before the dyno tune. My current exhaust setup is Dynatech LT's, 2 high flow cats on a 2.5" y-pipe, and no mufflers. The new setup will be with the same LT's, 3" mandrel bent pipes all the way back with a 3" x-pipe. Any guesses as to how much I'll be losing with the y-pipe setup?

No cats on the new dual set up?
If so I'd say less than 15rwhp and maybe even none at all at certain rpms IMO.

If high flow cats on both set ups then maybe only a 10rwhp (or less) loss.
