Default Stock header with CAT removed- equivalent

What aftermarket header would the stock header with the cat removed be equivalent to? I am trying to figure out which PV-2 tune would be best. I have the Fuel Moto stage 1 AC, de-catted stock header and the American Custom Revolution mufflers.

I use the Fullsac Sport pipe. They cut out the cat make squish chamber add some length to one pipe to eliminate the cross talk for the sensors and weld it back up to a stock head pipe. They claim to make 1 hp less than the custom pipe. You can buy it outright, or buy and exchange for less money. Heat shields fit like stock. I have had no issues.

I have a 12 RG, check to to see if they have a pipe for the 14's, it should be the same

Not sure which aftermarket header would resemble the stock configuration. I'm assuming your tuner list various pipe configurations except stock? The v&h power dual header is a 2-1-2 like your stock header, biggest difference may be o2 location. If that is an option on your tuner, probably a good starting point.

Call Jamie, he can tell you where to start.

As long as you're in the ballpark, it's simple to autotune from there and get it right.

Why not call FM's tech line and ask. That's what I did.
