You won't see any performance gains. I just removed mine during my "race" style header install and it does clean up the engine bay quite a bit, as well as shed a couple pounds. Worth it, in my book.

Some say that the MPG will come down a bit.

That is a debate, but also non debate is your car will not run as clean to a sniffer.

If this is an issue keep it. If not rip it out.
