Cat Guts
I have heard that some people remove the guts from their cats, I know this is against federal law and has hefty fines and I of course would never dream of doing this to my 82 CFI, BUT just wondering how those people do this.
Thanks!

In this day and age you can get a high flow cat which would be the way to go in my thinking if you have to have a cat that is.
In the old days we used to take the cat and cut an I in the top of the cat that you could not see spread it open and take everything out then weld it back up and install it back in the car.
