if you dont have smog laws your better off just removing it and running a header 2.25 all the way with a quality muffler you can also do the same thing but add a hi flow cat those are going to give you the best results the main reason people hogg out there cats is to get around smog laws and visual inspections because when looking at it, it still looks like there is a cat there

If you have a 22r try to richen your fuel mixture.  Now that the engine is breathing better it needs more fuel.

easiest way would be just put some exlax in their kibble

Not a good Idea   The stuff inside is toxic.  Just put in a "Test Pipe" and see if you get the results you want.

On my 85 4 banger the cat is hollowed and the exhaust is cut about a foot and half after that. I didnt notice much difference and its way loud. On my 89 v6 the cat is intact and the exhaust is cut the same and it has a nice mellow tone to it not to loud either. If you do hollow it all I did was ram a pipe down through it and break it out. A friend of mine knows a guy who buys the stuff inside to I just sold it to him.
