I've done it several times over the years to several different cars of mine.
Does it help performance? Only of the original cat was plugged up. In the
case of a Spitfire, this is possible, but immediately visible as well. Just
look down it when you've got it removed from the car. In my case, the
Spitfires cat was melted and plugged up.
Marvelous "rumble"? Nope. Tends to make cars sound more tinny. Spitfire is
no exception, though the effect is less pronounced.
To get the guts out you just poke and bang and twist with a long screwdriver.
Can't remember if the Spitfire has a screen wrapped around the core or not, but
if it does, it's still easy to tear lose. Takes about 10 minutes to get every
bit out.

Spitlisters;
I'm looking for information from anybody
who has or "knows somebody that has" cleaned the
converter junk out of their catalytic converter.
Did it help the performance? Did it change the
marvelous Spitfire rumble? Was the *stuff*
difficult to get out? Any help would help *my
friend* out considerably!!
