i pass emissions without a cat anyways

best thing to do is take a torch and heat up the insides then tap it on the ground and it should fall out. or buy a test pipe and swap them.

test pipe or aftermarket cat. used cats are worth good money as scrap provided the inside isn't beat out of them.

wel FYI in the future, take a hammer/rod and smash the honey come out of it, then take a 2.5" pipe, slide it through ( clearancing needed) tack or just butt weld the piece in there.

so it looks like ya have a cat

Save it for scrap metal! There's precious metals in there (like platinum) and metal yards will pay upwards of probably $90 for one that size. It'll pay for all the materials needed to replace it!
