I'd say about 10-15hp....maybe. You'll notice a difference in the top end a lot more.

I would agree with bling bling. You will notice a top end difference. I must warn though, I have talked to many guys who try to deter getting rid of the cat. On NA engines you need the back pressure caused by the cat. Your low end will almost disappear (not like there was much there anyways) but you will notice a difference in the top end.
