you'd definatly loose a LOT of power from a clogged cat.

now an oil leak...not necesarily. In drag racing the less oil in there the more power it will make

2 years....? A cat should never have to be replaced. maybe every 10 years.

I straight pipe is always nice though, if you dont have to test for emissions.
