Default Magnex exhaust - could somebody please clarify?

"Magnex stainless steel cat back full system"

With this exhaust fitted to my standard MY01 bugeye WRX, will it:

1) Improve performance/give power gains?
2) Make the burble louder/more pronounced?
3) Cause me hassle at MOT time?

How much should I expect to pay for this system fitted and does anyone have any opinions on it?

Apologies for my lack of knowledge with these questions.

If it 's a cat back then it will essentially be a backbox. You might as well get the straight through centre pipe to feel any gains in power/performance - nothing major though.
The burble will be much more pronounced/louder but not deafening.
No hassle at mot time either

1) Marginal (remove cat(s) for this)
2) Yes
3) No (Cats are still in place)
