Why would you hollow them out after paying the money to ge them? May as well hollow out the stock ones and save yourself a lot of money.

Maybe you could just trade those to someone for their stockers and a bit of cash and hollow those out.

take a long screw driver (very long) a hammer and a beer... and start pounding away at the catalyst on the inside...
you can also use the metal part of a paint bucket.. you know the handle a scrape away at the inside...
the stock cats are alot easier to gut on this car then most cars since they are a seperate part all together... but.. i would not recomend gutting the stock cats...

I was speaking with Random Technology about two months ago after my RT cats imploded after 600 miles... according to them, a person could pound on their internal catalyst with a sledgehammer and not do any damage.
RT was explaining to me that there is no way their cats could have experienced the type of damage as mine had, due to the near-indestuctible nature of their internals.
Well... that all seems to be not quite true if a few of ya'll have removed the internal catalyst with a hammer and screwdriver. And, of course, my driver side cat had completely imploded and the passenger side internal was loose inside the pipe.
