The cat is blown on my car so I'm planning on installing a regular universal cat downstream. However, I'd like to hollow the original one in case it's clogged.

Can this be done on the car? What worries me is the bend near the bottom... I don't know if I can get a tool in there to beat up the mesh. Also, does it take allot of force to break the honeycomb?

Thanks

 

it would probaly be more difficult on yours, the catalyst in the stock honda cats are really hard to break up, just buy the one in my sig

 

Just sell that OEM convertor and buy his You can sell that one for scrap, Around here I get $110 each for them.

 

damn u get 110 lucky feker. we only get 85-95 for um down here in the good ole south.. just the john deer ptill hastn gone away yet.. hahahah

...the problem with pulling it is that I need a new exhaust manifold in that case

That's not that big of a deal. OEM D-series exhaust manifolds are cheap, &lt;$40 at a junkyard or from the marketplace. Any of them will bolt up fine and the only thing you have to worry about are your O2 sensors.
