Ed Uding sells them: <http://www.dmc-service.nl>
I'v had one on my car for over 2 years and could really
feel the difference before and after removal of the cat.
I also freed up the intake by removing the mixture valve
and putting some flexible piping instead.

If you're messing there anyway AND it's legal to do so (it IS in
The  Netherlands; Cats are only required after a certain year)
I'd say go for it. The 10 to 15hp claimed seems a bit steep to
me, but the engine IS more responsive to the pedal.

As for hollowing out a cat; it can be done, but then you'll get
turbulence in the empty housing, decreasing your gain in power.
Ed's pipe is smooth on the inside, so the gasses flow better.

Good luck,
