help with gutting rear cats?
i know you have to beat it with a pole. but there is a curve in the exhaust i am wondering on how people went by this and what they used to make it work
How to gut the cats....first remove the exhaust from the car...next you will need a grinder with a cut off wheel to cut a 4 inch by 4 inch square on the cats...save the pieces you will need to weld them back on....once you have the square cut out you will expose the guts in the cat...take a screwdriver or chisel with a hammer and break up the guts...make sure you get it all out...weld the squares that you cut out back on n bolt it back up...done
I don't have a welder and I don't wanna cut a hole in my cat. Is there an easier way. I have a crossfire n/a. Please help, thanks

If you are not willing to do this, or pay someone to do it, stop asking about it.
I'd suggest finding someone who has a welder and buy some pipe and cut out the cat and sell it for junk. The cat contains platinum making them more valuable than they look.

You could invest in a welder.
OR
You could find a community college or high school auto shop and talk them into doing it for next to nothing.

i got it done. thank you to everyone. i used a piece of metal rebar cut a point in it with a saw and pounded the **** out of both rear cats. used a bigger pole to break the pieces so they were about to come out. both cats took me about an hour not on a lift off of the ground on jack stands. used a vac like people said and turned the car on at times to shoot everything all out. thanks to everyone
