that stuff inside your cat is worth $$
I just installed hfpc's and a hi-flo cat, took my old pre-cats and cat to a recycler and got $120...

That's why I say a test pipe is always best. It's not ceramic inside a stock cat though.

Yeah but think about it, you got 120 for two high flow pre cats and a high flow cat meaning you got around 40 for each. I only have one cat and a test pipe will run me at least 50 on egay. So i might as well just keep my oem cat and gut it, it will be dirtier and more DIY

I think it's platinum, that's why it's worth so much

There's only a small amount of platinum. Usually it's platinum, rhodium and unobtanium.

well i just called a few recycling places and apparently you need to show proof that you own it? so you have to show up with the title of the car and they have to see that it came from your car. I don't have the title to my car because i'm still making payments on it so the recycling thing is out of the question.

I took off the Cat to check if it was clogged, this is what it looked like. It didn't look clogged to me.
Outlet:
Inlet:
Either way, i ended up gutting it.
