Default What to do with stock catalytics?

Just out of curiosity what do you guys do with your stock catalytics? I heard the titanium in them makes em worth money. But I have a much more sinister plan for my catalytics. My friends hooking me up with about a liter of black gun powder. Gunna grab ourselves a 30 ft fuse. Weld shut the two ends and put a small hole where the o2 sensor goes in and then run like hell. But if the catlytic is worth almost the price of a couple of mods i might just hold on to it. I'm hoping not... I'd like to see this thing go sonic boom Just waundering what you guys thought.

p.s. Not sure if talking about blowing up my cats is against forum rules. If it is please delete my thread.

Thats off topic and not very performance oriented. I wouldn't be surprised if someone deleted this thread.

I'd say sell them on eBay.

I'm sure there's someone out there with an F-Body looking for a set of cats, considering they do eventually go bad and need to be replaced in order to pass emissions.

Yeah, that's the only reason why I'm hanging on to mine. Just in case they change the law around here and have to get emission-testing...

That sounds like a great idea after you filled it with gun powder.
