Default easiest way to gut factory cats

I decided to gut my factory cats, i took them off and had no problem gutting the drivers side catwith a pry bar. Then I picked up the ypipe/pass cat and said htf am I gonna do this. Well after a l,il bit of thought I figured it out 10 welding rods with a hose clamp on each end about 2 inchs from the tip. Then I stuck it in an air drill and gutted the cats in about 5 minutes using it just like a toilet snake. I cant imagine how else you could ever get all that out?

Cut the top of the cat open (so its hidden from view), gut and then reweld shut.
