I know in S.H.O.'s you will KILL the motor, so I couldn't imagine it could be too different in stangs. Totally different engines, yamaha/ford, but still........

If you dont get everything out, whats left could come un-done and actually clog the exhaust system...

I personally dont think its worth the time or the hassle of gutting your cats....

whatever would happen I can't imagine it would "help" your car in anyway. Shake it and see if the shit rattles around.
