Default Test Pipe Worth It???????

Got 89 Si Hatch with y8 motor, Intake, Skunk2 Intake Manifold, Header, Cat back.

Would a test pipe be worth it, and how much louder is it going to make my exhaust?

TIA

Would I be better off getting a stock replacement cat, since mine is prolly 2004-1989 um damn, yeah, its old.

Or get like a Magnaflow cat?

I wouldn't waste my cash running a test pipe unless you are on boost. You will lose some midrange torque if you do run the test pipe and you will be polluting the earth, which is my turbo cars job.
