I don't think you gain much from a catback system so my guess is no.

I have a V-6 with the resonated Magnaflow X-Pipe. When I first installed it it got slower but the next day it was kicking ass. I assume the computer saw the change and something updated over night. I just have 3 minor mods (Axleback, Intake and sprintbooster)without a tune and running 13.9s with loaded down trunk. Not bad for a 3750lb V6.
