I ran catless once in my life, and regretted it.
On our cars you're probably only going to save a hundred bucks and free up a miniscule amount of peak torque. But the trade-off is that your car will stink in a very unhealthy way. Whenever you come to a stop you're going to smell "gas" and what come along with that untreated exhaust fuel is carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrous oxide particulates. Each of the three are individually a great little poison to kill yourself with. Quite a cocktail together.
Then there's the other issues like how smelly it is, how the smell will get into your clothes, how raspy your exhaust will sound, and how really bad for the environment it is.
It's a really terrible compromise for a little bit of extra power. It's like saying "hey, we can make you .05 quicker in the quarter mile if you agree to have this dude sit in your passenger seat and chain smoke cigarettes with his window rolled up."
