Well on a flat course NONE. On a course with a couple of rapid elevation changes I could feel it the steering wheel on occasion. I defer to the experts on this at times and the shop that set the car up for road racing felt strongly that it was a good idea if for no other reason it made the tie rod endings much stronger.
I wasnt really all that bummed out that it didnt work on my car without modifications. OLBLUE75 is absolutely right when he mentions you have to be adaptable when you run any part on your specific setup which may or may not match what the part was designed for by the manufacturer.

I was referring to the replacing a steel jointed tie-rod end with a heim joint. There is no change in NVH.
If you measured the bump steer and it didn't exhibit and toe change through the suspension arch both before and after installing the kit, then there was nothing to correct. Somebody is selling you snake oil.
