Default straight pipe

how much power gain can i expect from replacing my catalitic converter with a straight pipe. I have headers and a catback exhaust. I think the stock cat is bottle necking my exhaust system.

Read this thread https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=72856

Summary: No if your engine is mostly stock. Yes if you've got forced induction or an engine built for high revs.

With just headers and a catback, the cat isn't a real bottleneck. You might gain 3hp if you're lucky.
