You won't gain anything at all; if you're that desperate for 1-2 hp, you're in the wrong ballgame dude. Leave it on and avoid converter failure, plus an occasional code or two.

dont have converters, u think the pump is bad anyways so i think i will just eliminate it, pretty sure that will cause the good ol check engine light to start firing off
