There's nothing on there that's costing you any real performance. You'll lower the value, to at least some, if you remove it.

Re: Removal of emission control

The emissions controls are a federal requirement for all street vehicles in the United States, regardless of whether or not your state does emissions testing.

The only thing that might kill some horsepower is the stock catalytic converter. Replace it with an aftermarket one such as Magnaflow, Catco, or Random Technology, and enjoy the cleaner air.
