Removal of or hollowing out your cats is a violation of federal law and banned on this forum. There are a lot of vendors that sell high-flow cats that can be welded in place.

Regarding running without a muffler, there are various requirements in various jurisdictions. Some require the exhaust to be dumped outside of the cab, so you must run it all the way back. Others state that all vehicles must be affixed with spark-arresting mufflers, such as national parks run by the Forest Service.

Do a 3" stack above the roof line.

Back pressure is a myth. Period.

Its exhaust velocity you want, removing the muffler won't effect it.

As Salad mentioned, discussion of the removal of emission equipment is not permitted.

there is far more restriction in the cat than what's in the muffler

it will be fine. and basically any engine u deal with that has more than 5 cylinders won't be noticeably affected by no back pressure.
