Default Any gains switching from Hi-flow cats to catless?

Just like the title says, are there any significant gains to be had? I have Random-tech hi-flow cats, and just wondering if going catless would be worth it on my H/C/I car.

Thanks.

Not really on a stock cube HCI motor. Plus the Random cats flow pretty good.

My tuner claims he saw 8 RWHP in a test on a modded car. Not enough to deal with the negative repercussions for me.
