I always first consider Fastlane for my purchases.

Temporarily Fixed

I drilled a small 1/8" hole in the midsection of the converter and fed about 8" of coat hanger wire in until it wouldnt go any further, then plugged the hole with a sheet metal screw. It took about 5 minutes.

I don't expect the repair to last long but for now I'm enjoying the silence.

I'd just remove the exhaust, cut a hole in the top of the cat, clear it out, fix the hole and put it back.

Thumbs up

I've gutted plenty, just make sure to cover the eyes and wear a good dust mask. That stuff is very bad for you.

Haven't seen it yet but price is right and DEC brand is very good quality.
I just had a DEC cat system installed on the right side of my 00 E320. So far so good, no complaints here with the cost or performance.
