Recycled my cat today
Went to a recycle place in OKC and got $140 for my old stock cat from my 93 3.0. That is about twice what I paid for my new highflow Carsound cat. No wonder people are getting them ripped off, cash paid, no questions asked. They should at least be checking IDs or something.

Sorry to burst your bubble guys, but it is illegal to sell used cats, so unless the yard wants to get into some very very bad legal trouble, they cant sell them to you!!

On Sheridan Ave just West of Villa Ave, that's between May and Penn just North of I-40. Boy were they busy too.

Since when is it illegal, they have recycling centers that pay you for them? AFAIK its illegal for business's to sell, but not buy and private sales are fine.

Yeah John, the first thing the lady said when I handed her the cat was "oh that's a good one, big bucks for that one".

My 01 Taco has 2 cats, I know they cost a lot if you go to buy a new one from the dealer.

Brian, you threw it away????
