Gutting Cats (that aren't bolt-on)

I have a question about my car; 1991 Ford T-bitd 3.8 V6. 151,000 miles.

The Catalytic Converter's (2 of them) on my car seemed really clogged. But the problem is that they aren't bolt-on and ARE welded to the exhaust. I don't wan't to completely gut the shit out of them. I was just thinking about sawing them off one by one, jaming a pipe threw the middle, vacuuming up lose pieces and using a muffler clamp to clamp them back on. Now just opinions I'm looking for. I am not trying to gain any horsepower off of this , just simply too unclog them. If anything redeem HP that is because of my CATS. . My method is the only way since they are welded. But I just want to know everyone's opinion on this and hopefully some good advice. I dont want to pay 200$ for new cats. at a muffler shop, that is such a waste for what your getting.


Please state your opinion or give me the pros and cons of this
thanks!
