how do you gut a cat??

[Rwill]

about to take my cat off wondering how to gut it.. is there anything in there i need to leave??
also a friend told me if i did it i need to remove the cables from the batteries for fifteen mins to reset my computer.. is that true??

I assume you're wanting to get rid of the flow restrictions caused by the cat. Cut the thing open, remove the catalyst material, weld the can back together.

When I gutted the cats on my Explorer I took a metal bar and started stabbing at the material thru the opening to break it apart. Every once in a while I would tip it over and empty out the loose material.

flex bit and a shop vac

long drill bit and a air chissel.

drill a bunch of holes thru the cat so there s path for the loose material to go. take a air chissel and start widdeling. dont need to leave anything. if u dotn hav access to air tools then a metal bar and a hammer will work but jus be prepared to work at it for a while.

First you must kill the cat, then string it up by the back legs and cut down the mi....ohh. Nevermind. I would just get a crow bar and jab it through the middle.

Piece of pipe 3-4 ft. A hammer and about 30-45 mins. Be careful not mess up the slip joints...
