Hey guys,

I just got done doing an exhaust makeover and I was curious if anyone knows of a junkyard here in central ohio that buys Cats? I have called like 6 different shops and they are all saying no we dont do that and 3 even hung up after i said that... now i know shops get in mad trouble if they remove them... but i thought junk yards eat up chances to buy cats?

a little help please on what I should do to make a little money off it and get it outta the garage.

Well, best bet then is probably ebay, craigslist or on Stangnet classifieds. Maybe someone is getting their 'stang back to stock in order to sell it? I got my stock exhaust from the x pipe back after I installed a magnaflow system. Don't want to throw it out, because sure as hell as soon as you do someone will want/need it. Sucks I know.

Best bet is to call a scrap metal yard. They will take a photocopy of your drivers license and then make you an offer. They usually only get suspicious if you bring up alot of them. My company takes scrap wire to them all the time. I'm sure there's one in Ohio.

I am in the same boat. Everytime I junk a mid pipe, I cut the cats off. As a result, I have a few to ditch....but don't know where

took mine to a scrap yard

I think i got like 36 bucks for the cats and the old exhaust tips, The only converters that really bring money is the ones off of diesels.

Diesel cats ain't worth a chit. Japanese cats worth the most. Diesel cats don't use precious metal they use a urea solution called ad blue.

I send all my cats to these guys. They even pay the shipping.

http://www.sellyourcatsdirect.com

There are a few other places out there too that do the same thing.

I got $90 for the last Honda Civic cat I sent them

I got $250 for the ones off my 96. But the scrap yard said they were on the way to giving up on them due to all the theft. Since I was a "clean cut" guy they gave me what they were worth to them.
