If all you want to do is get rid of the cat,
why don't you head down to the local muffler
shop, and have them cut it out and put in a
piece of pipe? If there is a flange of sorts you
won't have
that anymore, but were you
ever going to put the cat back in? I would think
you should be able to get enough change for
lunch back from $40. That's what it's worth here
anyways, in the great white north, where it's been
in the high 80's to the low 90's for the last week or so.
p.s. Don't let the shop keep the "cat"
They're worth almost their weight in gold.
