In case you had not already thought of it, you can push all the catalytic material out with a piece of wood and a hammer.  Get something narrow enough to fit through one of the holes, and hammer away.  The stuff will give way eventually.  I had to do this on my 77 Camper, and it REALLY needed it.  The material was loose in the cat.  Turn left and it would slow down, turn right, and it would get faster...  :-)
