Get the car setup with whatever "cheap" exhaust you would like and then all in the same day, without unstrapping the car from the dyno.
Dyno chart 1) Baseline it.
Dyno chart 2) Tune it to whatever level the tuner feels comfortable with. A combination of fuel points, timing, etc..
Dyno chart 3) Bolt your mods on. Base line it.
Dyno chart 4) Tune it to the exact same level of aggressiveness as dyno chart 2.
The differences in 2 and 4 are the impact of the mods. If the mods allow you to run more fuel or timing without knocking? Great! Want to change the exhaust again? Or add an electronic fan in the intake? Or a flux capacitor? Cool, but you have to start at dyno chart 1 again.
But until you do this or something similarly scientific, you don't have ****.

Lol no I haven't! I tested one car, on the 30th, period! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE DID AND WHAT I SAID WE'D/DID DO!!! The lack of reading posts is insane in here
He showed up
We strapped him down
We tuned like you said
We installed parts
Car knocked
We pulled a few degrees
We finished tuning ported parts
Car made 319 vs 313 and 260 vs 255. Car picked up 11hp down low and nothing mid range.
Owners buying test pipes and coming back.
We'll put his OEM stuff back on and base run.
We'll tune like you said
Put our stuff back on
Try to dyno as is
Finish tune and see increase.
