Default is anyone in need of stock catyletic convertors?

Hey guys,

my left bank went when i hit 86,000 miles so i bought 2 brand new gm cats, then decided to do pacesetter long tubes. with tax i ended up spending over $1000 and im kind of tired of looking at them. any chance does anyone know of somone that needs them?

they were ordered for a 2005 cts-v

Keep this posted and I imagine someone may jump on one or both if theirs fail. However, like you, i'll also be doing headers when/if the cats go.

the one thing that sucks about these cars is a limited market- i have a brand new spare headlamp ballast and these 2 cats all brand new in the box and they are hard to move. i had them posted on the cadillac forum for a while- poeple kept offering me 200 for the pair- they are worth that in scrap. i figure if worse comes to worse ill throw them up in the loft at the shop- forget about them for a few years and then i should beable to get a decent amount for them haha

my core guy saw them and said he would give me 200 for the pair- a few guys have offered that to me but i figure im better off holding on to them untill somone needs them that wants factory cats. i figured since they were 1000 new for the pair that 450 would be fair

Of course owners who frequent car forums are those that mod. Those that mod will just get headers for that price. Those that would replace them at the dealership aren't going to come look on an auto forum.

GLWS maybe someone will pop up. (I've still got my stockers in the attic for who knows why) haha

Damn, I was only given $40 for the pair of mine for scrap.

I might be in the market for stock cats here soon. I'm thinking about selling my car and if I do I may need to return it back to stock to sell it quicker...I don't know yet though.

If you can get 200 for scrap you are doing GREAT. Your $300 sale price is also great for someone needing good stock cats. GLWS!
