If that's the stock cat they are worth about $140 at the scrap metal yards, what ever you do don't throw it away and don't let the muffler guy keep it either (some will claim they have to keep it )

wow, if that cat is worth about $140 on a 3.0, is the cat on my 3.4 worth anything? just wondering, as whenever i need to replace it, i could just sell the old one and use that $ towards a new one...

The older cats are worth more, I got $140 for my old 93 cat, but they offered much much less for a pair of dual cats from a 2001 Taco, IIRC it was less than $50 for both of them. I guess the old style cats had lots of expensive metals in them.

yeah, i reckon that Toyota realized they were losing $ on it or something...oh well, it was worth a shot, but thanks for the info man...
