Remove front Y-pipe from car. Cut rear pipe to get at catalyst bed. Drill thru with long twist drill bit, then punch thru remainder with a pipe & hammer. Empty out pieces.

Weld rear pipe back in place.

 PM'd you about those new OEM pipes for the Y but you aren't interested it seems.

Guess they'll go on fleabay now.

yeah sorry I just cannot afford that right now.

 

 

that method would work but i dont have a decent welder.

You could probably use a coupler and some clamps instead of welding it.

I cleared one by working through the O2 sensor hole, but it took longer.
