is it worth taking my cat off my 1997 prelude 2.2 vti?

Only if you want to put it back on every year at MOT time.

It will get much louder without the cat (mine is

) and you might get a few more horses, better with a tune

Guaranteed it would be quite a job to take the cat off as bolts are likely to be well rusted on.
Like pushki says you will need to swap them back over for each mot.
If you really want to go the decat route then you should buy a 93 or 94 4th gen sivtec JDM BB1 or BB4 as they will pass mot without the cat.
