how do you gut the cats? I want a little more sound and my dad doesn't want me wasting money on an aftermarket pipe, so this will have to do for now.

If you live in a state where you need to smog keeping that thing in good condition will be worth your time buying a off road and keeping that the stocker on the side. And it would not be wasting trust me lol. If not gutting them on the stocker is gonna be tough without cutting it up and welding it back together. I used a big ass crow bar to gut my friends.

save your time...and money and just buy a REAL pipe...the stock mid pipe is 2 1/4" pinch bent tubing. Even the cheapest h-pipes out now are mandrel and 2 1/2" and are MUCH better than even a gutted stocker.

I had my front 2 gutted and my back 2 just taken off completely! It did a lot for the sound!! I don't have the slightest clue as to how it was done though. I dropped it off in the morning and I got it soon after.
