Default Putting the cat back on

I am thinking about taking out the test pipe and putting the OEM cat on. Am I going to lose power with this??

The test pipe makes the car very loud I can't stand it sometimes.

The short answer is yes. Most of the gains you see stated for aftermarket exhausts have a lot more to do w/ the test pipe than w/ the exhaust itself.

I have the Megan Racing test pipe and it has a small resonator built into it and I didn't notice any difference at all in the volume of my exhaust after it was installed.

What are the rest of your exhaust components? Header?

You will lose some power and a re-tune should follow.
