Well, the cat core (most are ceramic) is a grouping of very small tubules running from front to back through which the exhaust gases flow. You'll be able to see light if held up to something like the sun, unless the forward facing core is covered with the baked carbon. The cleaning of that forward facing is theoretical since I didn't do it and wouldn't know what tool to use. Since it is ceramic, they can crack so care would have to be used to not damage it and create an even worse situation. I would think a flat piece of rough sandpaper (3M wet or dry brand)would be a good start to attempting to clean off the accumulated carbon. How to get that piece of sandpaper in there is the unknown.
