Im getting my car inspected in like two weeks, so i was wondering if i should gut my cat before or after i get it inspected, and also, i was wondering if thats even legal in VA. Also i was looking for instructions on how to gut the cat, i know you take like a hammer and like a pipe, and just bang out the insides but is that it?

 

If you're having the car inspected, then I "assume" that VA has emmision laws, that removing/gutting the cat would be illegal, and that you would fail the test by remvoing/gutting. Perhaps you should consider an after market high-flow cat.

You'll fail the sniffer test. Just get an aftermarket flow through cat and muffler and you'll be fine. Hell, even a new stock style cat will flow better than the stocker.

 

Gutting your cat on a street car is not legal anywhere in the United States.

An aftermarket "high-flow" cat is the way to go.
