Icon6 too early to dyno?

My '07 got totaled (not my fault) last week. Got an amazing amount from the responsible driver's insurance company and managed to find a "new" '08 with only 21 miles on it at a dealer about 200 miles from me (sorry AP1 fans I loves me a virgin car). I've already put a deposit on it and will be picking it up on Saturday. The week before my accident I ordered a T1R 70R-EM Sparrow Dual Exhaust for my car and it's arriving tomorrow. Obviously I want to put it on my new car ASAP but I always like to do before and after dynos for mods. The car will probably still have less than 300 miles before I want to do this. If I recall correctly for the recommended 600 mile break-in Honda just says to avoid rapid acceleration from a stop or standing start. Do you think 6 (3 before and 3 after) dyno pulls are going to have any adverse affects on such a young motor?

Thanks

honestly the motors now a days are broken in when they leave the factory... it is a rule of thumb however to wait the recommended period...

i think ull be ok, but later down the road if something happens to your engine, you dont want to second guess yourself... just take it on a saturday or sunday for a mini roadtrip... hell you could even come up and chill with us for a day...

youll put those miles on real quick...

Good lookin out. The owners manual says not to exceed 5,500 rpms for the first 600 miles. I totally forgot about that. Thanks y'all.

I would at least wait until the motor hits its break in or at least has a good thousand miles on it.
