I took the cat off, used a very long screw driver combined with a 3lb. sledgehammer and busted everything up inside it, some chunks came out big, others came out small, but it all came out after a while.
Of course, this is only a race car and I NEVER drive it on the street!

Hammer, lug wrench, and a big wastebasket.
If it takes you over 2 minutes you are slow.
Compressed air to blow it out clean.
Put it back on and lower your boost 3 psi. or so, to be safe.

I don't drive my GN a lot and when I pulled the cat this weekend I got doused in nice rusty water. This is after I had gutted it last weekend. It does get up to operating temps when I do take it out. Others can comment on the intelligence of drilling a small drain hole in the cat to let the water run out. Just a thought.
