I'm thinking of doing this setup to mine to tone it up a bit since I am running stock exhaust minus the resonator. Plus they look awesome too... Just my .02..

I did the surgery on my stock mufflers long ago... '90 L98 by the way. The whole cat back w/ mufflers is sitting next to the house if you want it... I've went to power effects cat back 5 years ago. Really nice to be able to dial the sound based on application.
As for the surgery, I cut an opening, took a drill to the turbo holes & also openned up the "dummy" pipe a little bit. Prob. a waste of time but I couldn't afford what I wanted at the time.
