simple, jus cut the cat out with a saw zaw, replace the cat with clamps and connectors, then take it to a shop to get it welded for like 10 bux

It's not that they hate money, but Johnny Law says most cars MUST have the O.E. exhaust equipment, even if it doesn't work. In any state that has an emision test, you MUST have the cats on the car or it fails on the visual inspection, even if the car blows wonderful numbers.
