leave the cat on...you wont notice any difference with a test pipe on there..it might be louder and will give you a smidge better air flow but you wont notice a difference in the .00000012 HP that you gain just because ebay says it will add 15-20HP doesnt mean it will thats just so you will buy it

basically yes..if you want your car to sound a bit louder then i guess go for it..but other than that you are not going to notice any HP gains at all..just sound..it will probably be a deeper tone and be louder

it wont help unless you have an aftermarket header with a larger collector, a larger flange, and your cat has a wider flange inlet and outlet, aka one not designed to be used with OEM parts (which would then make it either one-off or an off road use only part)

itll be a LOT louder, and your car will REEK like unburnt gas (aka lawn mower). gas milege shouldnt really change, but since its a "performance" mod you will probably be heavier on the foot.
in essence any "bolt ons" should give SLIGHT increases in gas milege (<1mpg usually), but its ususally negated by changed driving habit.
