Removing the cat is not worth it unless you have a turbo car. Years ago I ran a straight pipe on my turbo 240sx and saw quicker spool time and more pull at WOT. I'm sure if I didn't drive like a maniac back then I would've increased FE.
A diesel friend of mine owns a Dodge Ram Cummins turbo diesel and a couple VW TDI's and he reported significant mpg and power gains from removing the cats. Can't remember the actual numbers.
In the end its not worth it in a naturally aspirated car.
