take it off the truck. then take a peice of pipe thats about 1 inch in diameter and hollow in the center and drive it through the cat. then keep driving it into it, then empty it, just keep using the peice of pipe to keep breaking the catalist. doing it that way you can do it without beating up the outside of the cat or even cutting the side off, so no one can tell you did it.

i kept my cat still on, and crawled up under my truck and used a crow bar and a shop vac, worked like a charm took a white but it worked, every now and then i started my truck up and blew some of the chunks out, only pain in the a$$ is the mesh stuff thats in it, kinda hard to get it out but with some patience you can get it out, i dont have the equipment to cut it off and put it back on so that was my only option..then a year later i go get an exhaust system put on my truck and the guy just totally cut it off without saying anything to me about so no i just have that pesky little first cat and then my exhaust system

Oh! This is good. How does a wantabe yuppy take a safety device off his rig safely. I thought yuppy's and their friends like to breath clean air? Must be poor yuppy scum.

well he wants to breath clean air, so he figures he'll send all the gas up to upper atomosphere instead of letting it sit on the ground
