Answer 1

Nothing you will notice, illegal, and you will lose low end torque which you need!

Answer 2

The power gain would be minimal and you may lose a small amount of low end torque. Not really worth it, especially if you have 97-up model that has multiple converters.

Answer 3

little bit, it will reduce backpressure if you do this, but it wont pass emissions

Answer 4

Yes, you will. It's illegal though, but you probably already knew that. However, you will be able to feel the power difference.

Answer 5

A little exhaust upgrade won't give you much power at all.

Answer 6

It may give a little improvement, but not much on a stock or lightly modified engine.  Not enough difference that you will actually feel when you romp the throttle.

It will give more improvement if the engine is modified.  Items like larger valves, ported heads, aftermarket intake, aftermarket carburetor, high lift cam, headers, high compression pistons, etc.

You will get a check engine light and you will fail emissions.
