i'm looking for used cats if guys are parting out cars and are willing to cut the cats off before u junk them let me know i'll will gladly pay the shipping. let me know what you have i'll take any cats don't need to be 3rd gen's. thanks

 

i replaced my old cat, but i had to cut the air pipe up coming out of the cat. does that matter?

 

No probably not since the only value is in the Platinum thats in the Cat. The scrap metal guys pay top dollar for these!

 

I have access to a couple of cats...How much is it per lb? I have a scrap yard here, but didnt know it was worth alot of money in that form....

 

I'm parting out a 92 camaro, how does 25 plus shipping sound?

 

JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS IT IS ILLEGAL TO SELL CATS USED, THAT IS WHY YOU DO NOT SEE THEM IN YOUR LOCAL PICK-A-PART. IF YOU GET CAUGHT IT IS A $10000 YES THAT IS RIGHT $1 0 0 0 0 DOLLAR FINE FOR SELLING USED CATS WITH OUT A LICENSE IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO THIS ILLEAGALY THOUGH MY FATHER WHO HAS A WRECKING YARD AND A LICENSE GETS BETWEEN 50 AND 75 DOLLARS FOR ORIGINAL GM CATS

that may be the story in your state, By here you can see anything off a junk car. And how is the state going to find out if I do sell a used one?

 

IT IS A FEDERAL LAW MAKING IT ILLEAGAL IN ANY STATE, YOU ARE RIGHT THEY MAY NOT CATCH YOU AND THEN AGAIN THEY MIGHT. i AM NOT RICH, AND $50 BUCKS WOULD GO A LONG WAY BUT NOT AT THE RISK OF A $10000 FINE AND POSSIBLE JAIL TIME. i AM NOT SAYING THIS IS A STING OP OR ANYTHING. I SUSPECT IT IS JUST A SCRAP METAL BUYER LOOKING TO MAKE CHEAP AND EASY MONEY TO BE TRUTHFUL. WE GET GUYS COMING IN AN ASKING ABOUT CATS ON A DAILY BASIS CAUSE THEY DO INDEED BRING GOOD MONEY. THE ONLY THING I AM TRYING TO DO IS PROTECT PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW THAT IT IS ILLEGAL. YOU CAN SELL YOURS IF YOU WANT TO THAT IS YOUR CHOICE. ME I LIKE TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE MY COLLECTION OF CARS AND KNOW THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO DO THAT IF I AM NOT IN JAIL OR HAD TO SELL THEM TO PAY THE FINE
GOOD DAY

 

blah blah blah....the metal scrappers PAY you for the metal inside cats, I sell them all the time...nice cap locks buddy

 

I agree with you xpndbl3, His problem is he does not want to get big brother upset. Like he is going to watch everything everyone does. Or he is mad that we are talking money out of his dad pocket

 

Yea, people by the cats because of the certain amount of platinum in them...

A cat will consist of a ceramic structure coated with a metal catalyst, usually platinum, rhodium or palladium. The ideais to create a structure that exposes the maximum surface area of catalyst to the exhaust, while also minimizing the amount of catalyst required...usually a honeycomb structure

 

I COULD REALLY CARE LESS WHAT BIG BROTHER KNOWS OR DOES YOU DEFINATLLY DO NOT KNOW ME CAUSE I GO OUT OF MY WAY TO FIGHT THE LAW AND GOVERNMENT. IF I REALLY CARED I WOULDNOT SELL PARTS ON THE WEBSITE CAUSE I WOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT "BIG BROTHER" FINDING OUT ABOUT UNREALIZED REVENUE THAT I AM SURE NO ONE IS REPORTING TO THE IRS.
FACT: IT IS ILLEGAL
FACT: METAL SCRAPERS BUY CATS BECAUSE OF THE PROFIT MARGIN THEY PRODUCE.
MY FAMILY COULD CAR LESS WHAT YOU GUYS DO WITH OUR CATS YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BREAK IN TO THE MONEY WE MAKE NOT THAT IT MATTERS CAUSE IT IS A SMALL PORTION OF OUR INCOME.
TO EVERYBODY ELSE I APOLOGIZE IF YOU HAVE READ ALL OF THIS, I AM NOT TRYING TO WHINE OR SOUND CONDESENDING I AM JUST TRYING TO HELP OTHERS OUT. IT IS A KNOWN FACT THAT THE GOVERNMENT SETS UP STINGS LIKE THIS(ALTHOUGH I DOUBT THEY ARE DOING OVER THE INTERNET, BUT WHO NOWS.) AND I AM TRYING TO HELP OTHERS AVOID GETTING IN TROUBLE. YUO WILL PROBABLY NOT GET CAUGHT SELL A CAT OF YOUR OLD JUNK CAR, BUT IF YOU KEEP SELLING JUST ONE MORE AT SOMEPOINT YOU WILL GET CAUGHT.

I think the government has alittle more to worry about people to selling used cats.

 

old cats worth money......dang i learn something new everyday

 

OH YEA THE GOVERNMENT HAS PLENTY OF BETTER THINGS TO DO, WE SEE THAT IN THE NEWS EVERYDAY. STOP AND THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY DO ON A DAILY BASIS AND THEN REANALIZE THE AFORMENTION STATEMENT.

 

junk men and scrap yards buy used parts to recycle them, a private person buys part for personal uses, if the person asking to buy used cats is a junk man or works for a junk yard its legal, if not then its not, i got this info from my junk man
