clogged cat..searched
Hey guys...i bought a cat from a guy and the thing is like completely clogged. I put it on and when i drove it restricted air flow so bad that it almost sounded like it was back firing and missing....So i guess im going to hollow out my cat...anybody have any advice on doing so? i know using a torch doesnt work very good, lol thanks for any help

bought a clogged cat? I would return the damn thing. I would say high flow cat, because pretty cheap. but the make any exhaust so damn loud and only add like 1hp. Better off just saving up and getting a new cat. search around at local salvage yards. Cause new one is like 650-800 bucks.

Is it illegal in some states to sell used cat.

Alright, Take a Big *** flathead screwdriver and a hammer and hammer the screens out of the cat.. then just keep beating the **** out of it and it will all fall out.. If you don't have a large flathead use anything that you can hit with a hammer and it'll work..
Goodluck & just to let you know having a gutted cat.. Your going to be able to smell the exhaust more and it's going to sound really loud and raspy depending on your application.
