You can use a generic compression tester if you hold the schrader valve open & watch for the high point of the needle bounces.

Only the 86-88's used exhaust backpressure to open the aux ports.
A single only needs one cat or pre-silencer.
A dual sounds cool.

Check out the sound clip link in my sig.
