All you have to do is connect a suitable temperature resistant pressure gauge in the downpipe, if the back-pressure matches the boost pressure, then the exhaust isn't restrictive, if it is more than the boost pressure, it is restrictive - simple.

Obviously if it is only a few psi above, then its not worth changing.
