just my .02 cents
ditching the cat is worth a bunch of power, my 91RS picked up more than a full mph of trap speed with no other tuning, little g picked up about 2mph of trap speed with appropriate tuning. that is way more than 3hp.

also, the fine in new jersey for failure to maintain your vehicle is $175, and i have never in my life heard of anyone getting it for ditching their cat.
the $10k fine everyoen always talks about is a federal highway fine for illegally disposal or handling of hazardous materials, which if they see teh trash bag of cat guts you can get nailed with, otherwise it is just a failure to properly maintain.
