You should gain, if anything, but probably not enough to notice.

You will get worse with a straight pipe.....because subconsciously you will not be able to keep your foot out of it. Trust me. In terms of theory, I would think that you would get slightly better mileage but most of the reading I have done suggests otherwise (except for straight versus stock - stock sucks).
