find someone with hp tuners and have them disable the code. or if you can live with your check engine light always on you dont have to do anything

Get the car off the ground take the cat off. I think its 5 bolts. And take like a broom stick or somethin long that won't brake and a hammer and stick the pole or whatever you have in the cat and beat on it until all that dust crap comes out. You know when its all out cuz can tap on the outside of the cat and it will sound like a long ring vs if you do it full it will sound it a short ring

i dont think its going to give you much of a "better" sound, but it will be slightly louder depending on ur setup.

I swapped out my cat for a straight pipe after buying my WOT box and its about 1.5x louder afterwards.
some people dont like the sound but I enjoy it, sounds like a track car or something.

Also, shooting flames on some upshifts is always fun.
