You prob wont notice anything (power) unless you get something a little more free flowing like a high flow cat or a test pipe.

I wouldn't go with a test pipe, I would replace the cat with a hi flow cat, it won't pollute more. I'm not sure about the chemical use, but I would advice replace it if your going to upgrade your exhaust system anyways.
