So I'm having a chat with my mate about cats.
He insists that you can just bash out a metallic core cat and to check any TFSI forums.

However, when I look down my *ina special sports cat, it's clearly metallic, it feels solid that any poking at it will only bend the rolled up sheet of metal,
yes with a lot of force I believe that the cat could be squeezed so much so that it falls out (anything is possible with the right amount of persistence).

Whereas the ceramic cat can be broken into pieces with hammer and some metal tool (prybar, chisel, rebar etc.).

Could anyone show me how they smashed out their Chinese metallic "sports" "cat"?

My OE cat has this medium inside (ceramic)

China has like a corrugated metal wound into spiral
