RE:Performance difference w/o a cat?

[Shannon Fenton <sfenton@telegroup.com>]

I have a 87 16V 1.8 with TT downpipe minus cat and full TT system back with
straight thru muffler. I noticed a slight decrease in torque and you can feel it
off the line but it spins alot quicker and has a little more power up on top. With
a 2.0 bottom end dont think youd notice this though. My car however is very
loud even with the brand new system. It was quiet for about the first three weeks
then I think that without the cat it burns out the muffler faster and perhaps it
because its a straight thru muffler too. YMMV

Does anyone know how much of a difference in performance/power there is in
running without a cat?  The motor in question will be a 2.0 16V.  And yes I
am aware of  the enviromental aspects and laws associated with doing this;
it's just a question, hint hint, nudge nudge.
