don't punch the cats; the local metal salvage pays $50+ each for an intact cat.

I gutted mine. Just simply remove the rear mufflers and the hanger brackets. Then remove the 2 center bolts for the mid section, then remove the 3 bolts for each cat. You dont physically have to remove the cats to gut them. Just the pipes leading up to. If the car is elevated, the stuff (honeycomb) will fall right out. Make sure you get all of the material out of there, including the mesh material. When done gutting them replace the gaskets with new ones and reinstall everything. If you have a middle one, then that also can be done the same way or let a muffler shop handle it, due to the welding part.
