Although your topic says one thing, and your body says another, I got a Injen CAI from TTR (Vendor) got it in 2 days. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALL! FOLLOW EVERY STEP. I have yet to pull a CEL and I installed it on saturday!
I haven't seen a lot of gains yet, cuz I'm breaking her in still, but usually you can get about 8-10 hp and tq (someone correct me if I'm wrong) and it is noticeably louder 2nd-4th and 5th, but still sounds like 5th gear, only amplified!

Oh, that I can't help you, lol!
It just says "Cat Delete" in topic, and then in your body, it says "What kind of power gains can I expect with a Cold Air Intake, and what do you use to avoid a CEL?"
Not to be an ass, but I don't see what kind of power gains can I expect with a CAI AND A CAT DELETE..................? I guess I didn't read it the way you wanted it to be read. Common mistake; no-one is perfect!

That's a stupid idea. You can make up to 400 hp with a full exhaust on these motors if done right. There is no point in getting rid of your cat and hense making your car illegal.
If you did infact remove it, you would probably pick up a few horse 3 - 4 I'd say tops.

Modern cats are not like the older ones, they don't really suck up that much power. in fact, i think that most cars, with the ECUs as they are would just try to correct when it doesn't see one and all you'll do is LOSE power.

i've never seen a car with a CEL that ran as well as one without.

well, following the laws of logic, if your exhaust flow is higher, you'll gain more power at higher RPM. i would guess if you're running right besides... maybe maybe MAYBE 3-5hp at peak.

Point blank, don't do it.

Listen, if you want to do anything, while you're getting the cat-back setup, get an high flow catalytic converter to keep the same diameter going throughout your exhaust system. Getting rid of the cat won't do anything to help you in performance and might even cause a loss of power.

Just trying to figure out if running without a cat will benefit any gain over keeping it on

If you want real n/a power, you're gonna have to tear into the motor.
