Default Should I straight pipe?

I'm not talkin one piece, I'm talkin the whole damn thing...see you have to pass an emissions test in NY '96 and up, my car's a '95 and the paint's drying in the spray booth as we speak...(ready to be back on the road)... Should I take the stock exhaust sytem off of it and put regular 2.5" or 3" pipping all the way back to a loud tip (I like them, I'm rice, so sue me), anybody got the pros and cons of this? No resonators, cats, nothing... It should free up some hp, no? Nothing substancial, but it should help, right?

Any help iz thx

Hrm, so even if I ran 2.5 all the way back instead of cats, instead of resonators (I haven't looked under there so I'm not sure how it's set up) It'll be nicer, might sound a little rougher, but I don't care about the sound unless it it sounds really choppy :-\. I'm not running a turbo or anything so I'll probably stick to regular size...what's on there now, stock is 2.5" for an EJ1?
