Default Gutting a cat converter

Does anyone have a "how to" on hollowing out stock cat converters?

Thank you very much.
Rick

Yeah take it off put in a vise or something to hold it,take a long screwdriver and a hammer and knock it out or find the biggest drill bit you got and drill it then take the screwdriver and chip the rest out

or just buy a highflow cat,my choice
