You need to watch some videos in the exhaust forum stickies. Taking out the front cat will make it a little smellier at times, more raspy-sounding, and significantly louder. Combined with the UEL pipes gives it the traditional Subaru rumble. A number of people who had loud exhausts (e.g., Invidia N1, Tomei Type 60 or 80, Berk straight pipe) have ended up trading them for something quieter (e.g., Invidia Q300, Perrin 2.5" resonated) because the combination of the loud catback and the catless header ended up being excessively loud and obnoxious. Some people love it; others hate it. It's best to go into the purchase with an idea of what it'll sound like beforehand.
Make sure your tuner turns off the P0420 code and gets rid of the cold start cat warm-up period. Without the front cat, you won't need it, so it'll just be loud and raw and wake your neighbors up.
