Sure thing bro.

But I gotta warn you, the dog only stops chewing on strangers when I'm shooting them.

 

how much are our old cats worth?

I'm getting mine replaced and I plan on scrapping the old one how much do you guys think I could get for it?

The guy at the exhaust shop thought around $25-30

 

that is what i did last month when some dirtbag sawzalled mine off, taking the mounting flanges with it. $60 plus welding accessories and i passed emissions with flying colors

 

they want the oem cats. they want nothing to do with the aftermarket ones, the magnaflows and other cheapies are only gonna last 1 emissions test maybe 2.there is a new law passed in california that replacment cats must last 5 years now so no more cheap cats. i heard from somewhere they get $100 for the oem cats

 

Had mine stolen 2 months ago, right out in front of my house. just unbolted and slid it off.. Just spend the 99 bucks for a Cat-Lock, they still can use a sawzall to cut it off but, it will take them a bit longer with a lock.

 

I'm in agreement with installing an aftermarket cat, esp. Magnaflow's. Though they too are worth something for recycling, but they don't typically have the same quantity of precious metals (platinum, palladium and rubidium) that OEM converters do so usually don't fetch as much. Some areas, in response to this problem, are passing legislation requiring recylclers to only accept them from licensed installers thus making it even less profitable for theives.

Putting any sort of glasspack that close to the engine will likely cause the glass to burn out soon turning it into a loud resonance chamber.

 

I have a neighbor that lives a block from me , All he does for a living is scrap cars and metal . He recycles used oem cats and gets from $50 to $200 for them , depending on the cat. He wont even remove the aftermarket ones from the cars he is junking.The oem ones on the 3vze are worth around $100 depending on the price of precious metals .

You can always find people buying cats on craigslist or even sell them on ebay.

 

Cheezburger, once the dog finishes his thing, and I get done putting lead in your diet, I have a mass grave dug waiting to fill with bodi.....oops I mean water!!!!!!!

 

i shoulda gave my old cat away, it was empty, previous owner knocked out all the inner and thought it'd help it run, haha
