Default You reduced backpressure by adding the testpipe; that will reduce low-end torque.
Pretty common occurance across all models of cars.

Default You wouldn't lose so much of the low end torque, but you'd lose a little off the top end.
Comparitively speaking. However, a 2 1/2 inch test pipe is still going to be freer-flowing than a cat in place there, unless you get an aftermarket high-flow cat.

for all around driving, yes, it's probably the better option.

Default Until the CHP pulls you, opens the hood, and gets all jiggly 'cause he just made quota! Bam!
