Default How lean does adding test pipes actually make the AFR mixture?

Just wondering if there is an average number like from 11.0 to 11.5 after adding test pipes.

there's no def answer...the free'r flowing your exhaust gases are, the leaner you'll be. If you're 12.5:1 now, you could see up to a point and a half higher which means you'll need to pull more timing...what are you boosting, 8lbs?

have you had it tuned? Also, are you reading AF from the tail-pipe or cat? I've seen up to half a point dif between the two. Richer at the cat than at the tail-pipe.

It's been street tuned to around 11-11.5 AFR. The reading was taken from the cat.
