well... on an ex, not much.
on an lx, not much
on anything else, not much.

the real reason you would want to take a cat off is if you are running boost or fully building N/A. stock the D17 doesnt need that much flow and the oem exhaust is pretty good.
straight pipes are cheap, but i dont think you will have much of a noticable difference.

I ran one and noticed a gains up high and alot of loss down low. Like whent he ac is on and trying to take off from a light required a little more slippy slippy clutchy action. You will also have to do a 02 simulator cause taking it off will set off a cel(check engine light). I ran the self made o2 adapter and it was fine. Btw it will be alot louder too!
