what is the best way to hollow out the secondary cat ( the one that looks like a turtle)? just use a hammer and a punch, or maybe a breaker bar er something? any help?

A long tube or pipe, then a slightly hooked VERY strong wire to yank out the interior.

i dont think i follow? what do you mean a tube or pipe with a strong hook

Take it off and splice in a pipe. Then when you have to do the emissions
thing--put it back on..

I unbolted the entire exhaust, then unbolted the 3 section from each other. then I rammed a section of tubing into the cat to break up the catalyst and then used a section of small diamter metal to yank out the sections of catalyst.

ok i gotcha on the pipe now, thanx doug.....as far as the emissions part. i dont have to cause i just got new tags this summer, so i am good for a while. plus i live in corvallis for the time being and we dont have to do emissions testing... BOOOYAAAAA!!!!!

I used a piece of rebar and a BFH, then a big rock bar. dont breathe the dust of the cat material, and dont get it on your hands. its platinum which is a really bad carcinogen.

thanx for the heads up on the carsongin info, i knew that, but totally forgot about it... and i never touch grease or anthing car related, my hands are always cover.
