Is this possible?

That is how I have my Miata. I ran a 2.75" tube through the hollowed-out CAT body. Looks stock.

I cant believe its so loud, but more importantly, can u feel a diference in acceleration? How much faster does it feel compared to stock?

I can believe it. When I got my SR Motorsports hi-flow cat (w/ resonator) I thought it made my RB exhaust much louder, the midpipe is probably 2X to 3X that. If you have an aftermarket exhaust it amplifies the sound that much more.

correct me if i'm wrong, but I thought not having O2 sensor therefore, turning on Cell would have an adverse effect on the performance. The reason being is because the ECU would have to guess the amount of air coming into the engine therefore it no longer supplies the right amount of fuel?
