It will make the exhaust louder, people claim a small performance increase from removal of secondary cats.

No crazy gains like a boosted setup but a nice bump in hp and volume
I'm more surprised you are in a position you are running out of things to mod but didn't touch your pipes yet let alone not know their purpose.

I second this. why not do some research?

you get a couple HP from a secondary cat delete. the top end pulls nicer which is great for a 8400rpm motor. more engine sound and a more throaty exhaust note.

I recommend you delete your secondary cats at a muffler shop. this way you can keep your resonator (if the e92 even has one)

if you have an x-pipe, upgrade that too.
