Exhaust switch

Mods are as follows:
-Cone filter
-Cobb turbo inlet
-3" Downpipe
-Test-Pipe
-3" Agency Power Cat-back
-Tune
-Exedy Stg. 1+ HD

I started my X's journey with the goal of a budget build to experiment with the cars potential power output, not to mention saving some cash in the process. I got the downpipe and test pipe for a great deal ($120) and I picked up the catback from a rolled X (catback only needed a couple welds from where the factory welds on the Y were broken and only set me back $200 and some time to spot weld it. I love the sound and couldn't be happier with the free flowing system but after hearing another set-up I am inclined to switch.

I am considering going with the Cobb catback. Here in turn is my question:

The Cobb system is a 3" system with a 2 chambered muffler, my current set-up is a flow through system with no restriction so. . .will replacing the system alter my exhaust flow characteristics enough to require a modification to my tune? I haven't been able to find any information in CFM flow either one to compare the Agency Power to the Cobb.

I know there are a few threads on this subject and generally, swapping catbacks has little to no effect but I wanted to be certain and get specific information on these two specific systems.

So whats up?

You shouldnt need a re-tune, just a switch of the catback wont change things much if at all.

So any other exhausts sound comparable to the Cobb...I enjoy the gurgle and low exhaust tones...my Agency Power is getting old...
