punching a cat
Not trying to **** of you feline lovers. Long story short, I was running butt rich on my LSX swap and fuel got dumped into my cheapy metal cat. Then it caught on fire and the cheap cat melted somewhat in the middle. I'd like to punch it out but tried with a hammer and a big prybar and it's a PITA. Didn't make much headway in an hour.
Anyone punch out a metal cat before? Tool of choice? Hammer drill? Big drill bit? I don't want to spend money on a bunch of crap that will be a big FAIL.
I don't think a sawsall has a long enough blade to get to the core.

The hammer/pipe deal doesn't seem to be working too well for this metal cat which has the standard wound core. If I can't find something that doesn't seem like it'll take 5 hours of labor, I'll just buy the friggin' "fake cat" from siliconeintakes.com.
The core only partially melted in the middle. I've cleared that out but that was only about an inch thick where there's still another 5-6 inches of wound core.
