You'll lose some torque without the mufflers, but gain some HP.

At the dragstrip, you'll most likely run a tiny bit slower.

I'd reconnect the cat-back, because as the old saying goies "HP wins trophies, but torque wins races"

^Huh, how can you win trophies W/O winning races?Bracket maybe LOL...anyways if its the stock CB its probably pretty restrictive so I doubt you will see any sort of difference between the 2...if any, W/O will make you trap higher, W/ will result in a better ET.Maybe.
