How to gut cats??

Black Stang 97 · May 30, 2005

Well i just got my catted X but its not loud, i want to gut my cats but i dont know how or if there is a proper way of doing it, has anyone done that to them??

better to buy a o/r x. it can be done but the hollowed ot chambers create turbulence in the exhaust. you will lose power. if you are set on doing it then one way is to get a long screwdriver and a hammer.

Yup, a long screw driver and a hammer is the way to do it. And I would also recommend just buying a X without cats. You will also get a crappy sounding echo in that hollow spot in the cats.

If you need a catted pipe for emissions, just stick your stock one on for the inspection, then replace it with the O/R unit until you need to recertify, but don’t gut an otherwise perfect aftermarket catted mid-pipe. Gutted mid-pipes sound like $h!t and buying one just to butcher it is a complete waste of money. If you don't like the sound of your catted X, then just sell it and buy an off-road X.

That sounds like a better idea. That way if/when you ever need to have it inspected, you have the cats. Or if you got pulled over, you could put your catted legs on.

ya just make sure you keep your stocker. all the aftermarket catted pipes are illegal in CA.
