Default Replacing Cats ..is it woth it??

I`ve got a AU2 XR8 with dual 2.5 inch exhaust Cat back...Replacing the original exhaust seems to give me a extra 5 kw..
My question is, how much KW will i gain if i replace the original Cats with Hi Flow Cats?? And will i get extra exhaust Drone??
Is it really worth spending the money on the Cats and i heard they arent cheap..Dont get me wrong ,,if i got 15 kw from the Hi Flow cats i would certanly replace them..
Cheers
