guttin the cat
 
i have a 94 Z28 and i was wondering if it would be better to gut the cat or just replace the cat with a piece of piping. If guttin the cat is a better decision then how do u gut one?? thanks

I gutted mine before switching to the exhaust I have now. I thought the hollow chamber gave a nice tone to the exhaust. To hollow it out just drop the y-pipe and use a long screw driver/pounding device and hollow away :)

1) remove y-pipe
2) take large pole in hand
3) jam large pole into cat repeatedly
4) shake out everything that falls out of cat
5) reinstall

:p

5) start the car and rev it a few times to piss the neighbors off and blow the little bits of junk out that are still in there.
6) reinstall

:p

fixed it

BTW, I used the handle that came with the factory jack to break everything in there up...

I had a gutted cat once. A few months ago I finally found a ball flange conector and had a piece of pipe welded on. A gutted cat sounds like crap! I hated the empty tin can sound.

You got to run a pipe through it. ;)
