I hooked a shop vac up to where the crossover pipe is. Just make sure you remove both o2 sensors first before getting it all out. I used a 12" extension and various bits. A hole saw was the best for getting through followed by paddle bits for cleaning out the sides. After I was done I fired up the bike before putting the mufflers on and it shot out the rest of the cat and all the dust.
