You'll notice it.
Depends on the current power of the car to how much different it seems.
The car will feel lighter and the acceleration will seem quicker to the foot! you'll enjoy it :)

i done it about two weeks ago for a few day.
the car sounds a bit scary as you can hear every stones hitting of the underbody but it did make a noticable difference

the hardcore go the full hog.. drill out brackets, remove all the sound deadening, rip out and un necessary wiring, polycarb the windows etc etc
makes a big difference.

You will notice quite a difference in acceleration, it will feel a lot more responsive and fuel economy will be better which is good what with the prices of the stuff atm.

And just when you think your fuel economy is tip top, you shove an S1 rallye box in there and you're skint again...

Fuel is expensive when you going from A to B... But if you've got a huge grin on your face from driving, it's worth every penny. ;)
