1 - yes and no... in cali... you will get pulled over if a cop smells you...
2 - much louder then stock... not much louder then RT Cats which are CARB approved...
3 - yes noticble power.. there is a roll off in high end HP with test pipes when compared to the power gained from RT Cats across the board...
RT Cats are 500... a little more... will pass on the sniffer... will fail a visual if the guy can actually see them... but test pipes will definatly fail all...

I lost 2hp at the top end with test pipes, but my torque was way up between 2500 and 5200 rpms...
RT cat were flow tested a while back and flowed just a little less cfm than a straight pipe. I suspect the extra back pressure will keep the top end hp and the torque curve.
