Default Removing cat worth anything?

Hey

Ive got a 00' b16a2 in my 93 civic and wondering if you think taking off the cat is worth my time, is there any power differences or anything noticable in not having one?

Your in Cali so I would strongly advise against it. BIG fines. You might gain 2 hp by removing it, more if its the original one and its clogged.

on a practically stock motor,no gain.just more noise.on a pretty serious NA buildup,or with F/I,it can cause a restriction.

Not worth it. If you're using a stock Honda/Acura cat, it's not worth it. They are very well designed.
