Tried to get the damn thing off to knock the innards out but couldn't get the thing to come loose on one end. Too damn cold to try right now but once it warms a bit I will take a cutting wheel to it and get it off to clean out. NJ looks for those things so an empty one is really the only option.

Just add a cat delete pipe and save your cat if you need it if the future. It's a lot cheaper than purchasing a new cat.
