When I did mine, I hung it upside down from our fork lift and beat the snot out of the porceline crap with a large breaker bar for the front 2. On the back two (I couldn't get up in there because of the bends) I took a die grinder an carefully cut off the top heat shield. I then cut a square in the top, cutting 3-sides, and scoring the fourth.(so you can fold it up like a door) Then pound out that crap. Make sure you get the wire mesh in there too. If your cuts are clean enough you'll be able to bend the door shut, weld it back up nicely, and weld on the heat shields, and nobody will be able to tell. Other than the sound.
WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T BREATHE THAT CRAP IN!!
