PPE catted down pipes?? 1/4 ETA gains?

[76FoMoCo]

So I have gone down the rabbit hole and have a question for the guys who have done this.
Car: 2013 PP with LMS 93 v11 3 bar plugs and 160 stat with K and N drop in stock exhaust.
Question: Will PPE catted down pipes gain me anything at the track? other than my wallet being very light.
ALSO I ask LMS if they offer a tune to support this and was told "YES" is this a different tune then the one I have now? LMS at this point has been AWESOME to work with on the customer service side as I just wanted a plug and play tune.
I did find the thread about the pipes from long ago but it never really answered this question.

Thanks GUYS!

PPE catted pipes are a .1 to .15 gain in the 1/4 generally...

LMS does have a separate tune for down pipes, but you don’t need it for catted DPs.

I went with the thunderstorm catted from lms.. They re tuned and i would say i picked up around 2 tenths.. I would have went with ppe knowing that they pass emissions for NYS.. Live and learn..

I have no E/T input because I have not been to the track BUT I can tell you I was more then impressed with the PPE pipes, if I'm not mistaken there made to order, are very well made and do not throw any codes.

6 weeks, very nice product I'm impressed for sure. Going to take them down to the dealer and have them put on next week. Bad part is now all winter long before we get some track time. might take them to the dyno just for fun in a few months.

FWIW When I had the stock pipes I burned the grass in my Dad's back yard, with the new pipes that I did get coated I no longer burn the grass. Not sure how much heat it keeps in the pipe but it must help some.

P.S.
They really are some well done pipes don't you think, Almost everything you buy today is disappointing on some level but there pipes exceeded my expectations.
