You shouldn't notice anything. I just put all my emissions equipment back on, I noticed no difference in sotp feel compared to no cats, air pump, etc. When I get track times I'll post them.

If they're lower the only reason is because of restriction from the cats and the air pumps drag. (i.e. that's why people take it off) The actual EGR (I've had many debates about this one), and thermactor system won't hurt performance.
