i wouldn't just punch your cat out just yet. buy a spare one and punch IT out, keep yours for emissions.. or buy a test pipe.

The proper way to punch the cat out is to knock out all the ceramic ----, then weld an exhaust pipe so it's just a straight thru shot, and exhaust doesn't bow up in the chamber creating an echo/back pressure.

I should have done a writeup when I just did then a couple months ago.. good thing more cars need it done to them :P
