its exactly what i did with mine....

Yep sold mine off the Merkur. They bring a lot of money in scrap because they have platinum in them.

People will buy them. Most will scrap, trade, or sell them when they put on a new o/r pipe on. Then emissions testing comes along and they hit up all the sites to find one

Crap ... wish we'd known about this back when Frankenstang was trying to get rid of her the old stock H-pipe from her Capri.

I work at a car dealer and the new trend we are seeing is people going shopping or parking their car at a train station only to come out and have their cats stolen from their car.

yeah thats happening here too. a big deal is night raids on car dealerships. they hit the lot with creepers & power tools, loosen a couple bolts or use a sawzall, and a lot of new vehicles wake up missing a $500-$1000 set of cats. i heard one dealership now takes them off right when they get the vehicle, then install them again when its sold. they had lost over $80,000 worth of cats already. I worked at a shop and we'd collect everything when we'd gut cats, or cut them out. They were stored outside in a locked box, and it got broken into 3 times while i worked there. big money i guess.

Holy crap I think that I have 3 or 4 factory catted hpipes in my shop.

On ebay they will go.

Lol, I just sold mine on craigslist for 40 bucks. Oh well, at least its out of my garage. It was in great condition.

Aftermarket cats aren't worth anything because they are lower grade platinum.

I buy and sell cats locally a little bit and I just sold 3 cats today all out of 86-89 Pontiac Grand Prix's and got $420 total.

import cats are worth more !!!

+1 tigers and lions net a pretty good price around here!....

Just remember, you have to cut the cats out of the pipe and render them inoperable by cutting off any flanges and making them damn near impossible to be welded back into a new pipe. The catalyst/honeycomb also needs to be in tact if you want to sell them at a fair price. I believe it is also illegal to say specifically what car they were from, to legally protect yourself from someone saying they bought them to use on their x brand car. You can only list them as scrap, not as "kewl converters off of a bling Lexus yo!"
