These cars come with 4 cats..... So there is definitely power to be made by removing them.

YES THERE IS A DECENT POWER GAIN. YOU MIGHT GET A CEL WITH NO CATS AND NO TUNE THOUGH

30 hp would be unlikely, unless were talking about a heavily modified car with forced induction. There will be a power gain from removing them, but it is minimal. Modern cats are nowhere near as restrictive as they once were.
