A little...depends also on the shape your mufflers/resonator are in. Could be quiter or louder than other cars. Most likely...a catted 3" DP won't change THAT much...you might notice it since you drive it everyday though.

Not much...probably not enough at all to notice a difference...which is why I always say...for the price of a catted downpipe...you can buy Speed Daddy headers off of ebay...go catless...and make your car sound tons better.

3800's only sound sh1tty when they are loud...and have no resonators...or chambered mufflers...think Borla, SLP, Corsa, Magnaflow for mufflers...and a BIG 26"+ glasspack for a resonator...or keep the factory one because it works great.

If your looking for a quick fix in sound AND performance...get a cone filter...bolt it on the end of your throttle body...then go to your local exhaust shop and have them cut out the cat and the u-bend at the same time.
