Horsepower minus Catalytic Converter
I have an 82SC and the previous owner removed the catalytic converter to get a horsepower boost. How much of a HP boost would this provide ??

Removal of a plugged cat would just be giving back the power you had in the first place.

Like Doug siad, you won't feel much difference if the cat is healthy. But it will be louder

Thanks for the responses!
If taking the converter off doesn't help much, I'm wondering how exhaust mods in general can help Horsepower? - Bill
