Hey i was just wondering if i were to remove the catalytic converter if it would add any horse power? or what about getting a "Y" pipe before the cat. so i can still have the cat. but have it go straight out when i want to race?

No it doesn't. Sorry. You can argue better flow all you want, but......no it doesn't.
