Re: difference in loudness
I'm not sure with a turbo car, but everytime I've heard a car without a cat, its louder and raspier/ricier sounding. The cat kind've acts like a resonator as well. Why don't you try a resonated test pipe? You'll get the flow of a straight-through test pipe, without the horrible sound. Again, it may not make as much of a difference on a turbo car as it does on a n/a car, but if it does, it'll be well worth it.

Re: difference in loudness
Sound wise - I doubt you'll notice much of a difference if any.
To everyone who said don't gut it because it will run worse/improperly, you're all fucking idiots and need to shut the fuck up before I make you look like an idiot.

Why? .. because X on one side of the turbo spins the impeller (thus compressing the air) on the other side of the turbo.
Now, in relation to your answer in the first question (X), what does a catalytic converter do to X?
