Just throwing out an idea but maybe he can get away from random visual inspections by cops

Ok, buy a test pipe, go to a junk yard, pick up a pos cat, cut off the heat shield, weld heat shield to out side of test pipe. Or hammer a 2.5" pipe through and old cat

hollowing the cat will not do squat except cause turbulance and disrupt the exhaust flow, either get a test pipe or put a pipe through it.

It's horribly obvious if the cat is missing or gutted. Don't count on it to get you by.

It is a $1500-$3000 fine if you get caught. All for perhaps 2 whp on a stock or mildly modified motor.
