Gutting Cats on aftermarket mufflers?
#16
It took me 2.5 hours to get the mufflers off and get one drilled out. The 2nd one is drilled and I will go at it tomorrow to get the junk out. PITA is an understatement. I employed 3 large drill bits, a sawzall, a chissel, a hammer, and a small pry bar. My hands are bloody, black, and sore.
I found that the worse thing you can do it beat it loose before the catalyst is cut up. because you will not be able to get it out and you cannot cut it when loose. The second one should go much better. I bought a really good (important because I broke 2 cheap ones) bit and it put about 10 half inch holes basically cutting it in quadrants. Next, Im going to connect the holes with a sawzall and be done with it (in theory).
Unfortunately, I wont be able to start the car up because I took off my intake, y-pipe, f-pipe, and boost hoses. When all is said and done, I will put it back together with agency power cone intake, agency BOV in lieu of DV, agency y-pipe, and agency boost hoses. As soon as all my parts arrive, Ill post pics and maybe some sort of video.
Cosmetically speaking- new tint, wheels, and tires are going on - need time for the pss10s
