ok well you have emmissions testin in your area you will no longer pass? if so then you can gut your catalitic converters, remove your smoge pump, EGR, ACV, and Rat's nest. Most of that will only clean things up in the engine bay. The Hp increase will come mostly from the gutted cats and a bit from on less belt on your car reducing parasitic power loss through the belt.

Don't gut cats, replace them with straight pipe.
