How about just removing it . Just run a straight test pipe where it is now. You could take a 1in drill bit and drill through it . If you really want it louder then just get a smaller resonator.

I would recommend not doing it, I actually just did this two days ago because I was tired of the sound my car made. Now when I am at more than 1/4 throttle I can hear the air going through the cat and it sounds like a tractor sort of. It did help my low end though, the cat was so clogged I could barely rev above 6500.
If you really want to do it the easiest way is to get a pipe and one of those steel things they use to pound fence posts into the ground. Put you cat on the ground, stick the pipe in it and pound the #$&* out of the pipe, once the pipe goes through all thes stuff in there it gets easyier. Also on mine there was some wire mesh stuff that looked like steel wool around the inside of the cat, make sure to get that out or it will come out and get in your exaust.
