I got my cats gutted and it sounds like an exhaust leak above over 2500rpm. Just get a piece of pipe welded in place and get the shell of the cat welded over them for inspection.

BTW, if your cops are like our cops, especially the State Troopers, most of them have a laser light thermometer, they aim it at your cats and if the temps aren't way higher than the exhaust pipe right next to it....your busted anyway. And probably worse than just not having them. Me, I could care less if they catch me without them.
