This is my first time posting here, so sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this but...

I'm working on doing a muffler and cat delete on my 97' 1500 5.9 magnum and I was wondering how I could go about deleting the cat? I know it's possible to gut it but the problem is that it's a Y-shaped design (2 in, 1 out), so how would I be able to gut it/replace it?

How should I reconnect it? would it need to be welded or could it be clamped with a connector?

Welding would be the best but if you cut it fairly straight you shouldn't have a problem using a 2.5ID/2.5ID adapter and saddle clamps or 1 good band clamp.
