Check out a hunting supply store, or maybe a taxidermy shop...

But seriously, I'd say buy a 30 dollar one so you can have a working cat if you ever have an emissions test...

you could just hammer it out, but you are actually better off getting a high flow cat. It helps emissions sound and flow. My .02

You can always sell a functional cat for more than what one of those ebay ones are worth. So I'd say, get the ebay one.

yea i would say def. just buy a cheap one from ebay, or custom in a straight pipe that you can take out and bolt up your stock cat to pass emissions if you are worried about that...
