If you can see where a window has been cut in the side of the converter area, you can pretty much count on it being clean.

you can also look down it with a flash light and see. the cats are pretty huge in there, or as stated it will be welded up on the side of the collector

I have to agree ,if you drill it getting all out is questionable.
You can only drill the one tube, you would need to then reach in with something a try to scrape it all out. That stuff is tough.
With a window cut out I still had to cut and hammer it out.

This to me is a option that is pretty cool imo and would be a great choice for the money but don't forget for a little more coins you can buy a full header pipe from fullsak or fuel-moto and keep the original just in case.

I bought mine in march last year off ebay for $69 plus $17.95 shipping from maam_pop_shopping. I just checked ebay and they don't have anything for sale right now but you could message them to see if they are still selling de-catted headers. They window cut.
