It will be louder... buddy of mine just had an off road X and becuase of emmisions he went and got an X pipe with cats... made it much quieter. You should pick up a little hp getting rid of the cats even if they are high flow. Magnaflow mufflers are typically quiet anyways.. I have them on my car too.

I would say 3-10 HP somewhere in the powerband. It's probably not enough to notice (SOTP wise). Probably more torque in the upper rpm's.
