But what I would do is either leave it, or take it off and knock all the crap outa it then put it back up or run a pipe through it. I did what forum155pl suggested on one truck and after an hour I still didnt have everything out and now it sounds kinda weird cause you can hear it rattle a little in the exhuast. So i would not suggest that method personally.
Really? it took me about 5 min and there was zero honeycomb left.. and i disagree.. you will get a little more seat of the pants feel without the cats

The only way it will make that much of a difference is if the cats are completely plugged. The "seat of the pants" feel is just the noise difference. As previously mentioned its been dyno tested multiple times by multiple people (speed channel) and the changes it makes is negligible.
