You can if you remove the cat and then you are free to gut it. Ive used a pry bar as a punch and hollowed them before but whatever you feel like being destructive with will do fine. Just keep in mind the car wont pass a state inspection smog test but it will look "legal".
If you agree that the answer I provided is correct please remember to "accept" and/or mark it as "helpful" so I know I'm doing a good job. Thank you, I would really appreciate it.
