gutting the cat

[modmaster_imp]

Actually I love both of my cats but I would like to know if anyone has ever been able to gut the inside of their catalytic converter. Could you access it by reaching in from the outlet and perhaps knock the insides out with a good sized bar? Just wondering if anyone has tried yet.

Maybe we should change the title? lol ..although it is catchy and makes you look.

Why would you want to? Cats are not very restrictive. My Moto Guzzi had Cats in the exhaust canisters. I replaced those with after market cans without Cats and there was no difference in power output.....verified on a dyno.

My nephew ran a straight pipes from the Cats on his Mustang 5.0 thinking that the Cats would be enough to muffle the exhaust. He was wrong. The exhaust was as loud as just attaching the pipes to the header.

Do we need to call ASPCA? Lol.

And I thought we were going to talk violins.

I would think there would be little to gain by gutting the cat but I'm sure it could be done.

I thought there was a post in the past of a member taking out the guts of the cat.

You're a champion, Elipten. I knew I'd made a bad joke about something like this. The thread was called [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2829]Gut Factory Muffler and I remember wondering why you needed to muffle a gut factory.

Actually, the thread on Gutting the CAT is below:

The author, kDiqq was even offering his services to others who wanted their CAT removed...however, I haven't seen him post much lately.
