A test pipe is used instead of a catalytic converter. It's literally a pipe with two flanges.

rta, how much would they charge me and can they ship it to me?

and can i actually punch out the thing on the inside of the cat? i know its gonna be loud but id rather do that instead of paying for it right now.

just take it out and get like a pipe or somehting that is about the same size on the inside. Just start pushing it through the inside of the cat (uselly isnt that easy at first). It will all start to break up and fall out, once your done its like a hollow pipe.
