Any ideas how to gut kooks cats?

 

[NUTCASE]

its better to cut them out and replace with straight pipes

if you are worried about inspection just put them back. if you want to spend a few extra bucks get some joints with that so the swap is easy.

I have tried gutting cats before. it is very hard and unless you get all of it out you are just making turbulence in the pipe.

Yea inspection and uf cops look under the car. I plan on gutting them just dont know how

 

[NUTCASE]

the ironic part about visual inspection is you need to get all under the car to see the stock cats anyways. are the cops in your area serious enough to dirty up thier uniform wiggling on the ground?

also you could just get some shields and weld them up to the straight pipe.

Rebar or possibly a really long drill bit.

The cops really stop people and look under their car?

Long screw driver/metal thing and a hammer, you'll know what to do once you start pounding it. Sometimes they start unwrapping and you can grab a piece and unravel it (metallic cats only), going to be a bit of work though.

I grew up in jersey so I know how the cops can be. I also doubt they would get under a car and dirty thier uniform unless you REALLY pissed them off somehow.

either way, gutting cats is a PIA and makes turbulence unless you take the time to really do the whole thing. Then you ruined something you could resell. straight pipe and weld up cat shield.

I started doing the gut process on my 2010 and after 15-20 mins of pounding gave up, walked inside, looked for and off road pipe and bought it.

Big crowbar. Took me about 30 mins.

 

[mustangflanagan]

Fuck lol

 

[Greg Hazlett]

How did you secure it in place to get good whacks at it with the crowbar? I tried holding it with one hand and hitting it with the other which did not work; laid it on the ground and held it in place with my foot but the angle stopped any real progress...?

Did my friends Aston Martin last fall. Two guys, some steel bar and a hammer. Took about 10min. It's still slow.

Theres a place that sells fake cats. It looks like converters but the inside is a straight pipe. I think Mikey posted them awhile back.

Like others i just knocked them out. Put 1 side of the mid pipe against the wall & pushed a portion of the pipe w/ my foot to pin it against the wall, took a crow bar and 3 lb hammer and beat the shit out of the cats then took long needle nose pliers and grabbed, twisted then pulled the metal out. Was a pain in the ass but worked.
