How do you gut a cat???
Can anyone help me on how to gut a cat? Is there an article anyone can link me to? I looked through thirdgen.org but I didn't see anything, but then again I may just be blind...

Take the cat off and you'll see honeycomb type of material, now just get a long screwdriver or something similar and just bang it all out.

Well hold it from the neck, start from the the bottom of the belly cut in about 1" and pull knife up to neck, guts should fall right out.
Sorry if ofends anyone, could not resist.

Just take the cat off, bend a piece of conduit to match the space where the cat was and take it to a muffler shop and say "bend this." I don't know about your emissions requirements but they must be nonexistant if you can get away with a gutted cat. Don't even ask the muffler shop to install the pipe, it's illegal.

actully gutting the cat causes alot of turbulance and can actually slow it down, the BEST thing to do (yes, i am a genious) take a pipe, run it threw the cat then weld it in place, it looks like its installed correctly but it runs like a stright threw no cat exhaust without the restriction.
