Then when you're done, jam a piece of exhaust tubing through it, and tack
weld the ends to the flange on each end - gets rid of the echoing sound and
turbulance caused by taking the guts out. (I assume we're doing this so
that it "looks" like there is still a converter installed).

I've done it several times over the years to several different cars of mine.
Does it help performance? Only of the original cat was plugged up. In the
case of a Spitfire, this is possible, but immediately visible as well.
Just look down it when you've got it removed from the car. In my case, the
Spitfires cat was melted and plugged up.
Marvelous "rumble"? Nope. Tends to make cars sound more tinny. Spitfire
is no exception, though the effect is less pronounced.
To get the guts out you just poke and bang and twist with a long
screwdriver. Can't remember if the Spitfire has a screen wrapped around the
core or not, but if it does, it's still easy to tear lose. Takes about 10
minutes to get every bit out.
