[V8] flashing cat light

I have pretty much the same issue.

Your options are:
A. Remove them, but unless you have the equipment to remove them yourself,
you'd have to find a shop willing to do the work.  It's a HUGE fine if they
get caught, though, so most won't want to.
B. Rather than remove them you can just gut them (jam a rod through them
over and over until nothing is left inside), but again you'll have to find a
way to remove and replace them.  If our cats are bolt-ons it won't be a
problem, but if they're welded in place you'll have the same trouble as
option A.

I was thinking about just gutting my cats if it turns out they're just
bolted in place, but it seems like cats are usually welded at least at one
end.
