I agree with Ron. The loss is negligible. But transmitter noise or desense (these are separate and distinct issues) could be a more significant problem since the TR separation is usually 600 kHz, and may now be 400 kHz in Northern California. Another poster indicated a major improvement by replacing these, but there was no before and after measurement data provided to verify a problem. I don't operate a VHF system, but a noise and desense test using the discriminator output and a 50 ohm load on the rear transmitter port would prove this.
