I gained 5bhp at the wheels with a janspeed mild steel de-cat.
It had a few other mods though so you might not gain as much.

If its just the pipe it'll be louder, cant see you loosing power on an ecotec.
If you do, then its just an excuse to get an inlet manifold!

Mine had inlet plenum, unichip + pipercross cone (standard exhaust) and it gave 5bhp after getting the de-cat fitted.
Unichip didnt need re-mapping either.
