Default Those who removed cats?

Did you sell or keep them? I just took all the stock exhaust off and was thinking on selling or keeping them. I dont plan on ever going back to stock but who knows.

Neither...I put mine in the dumpster If you sell it you're not going to get very much at all for them. If you think you're ever going to live somewhere that is strict on SMOG then you might want to keep them but that's a pain in the nuts to swap headers/y just to pass smog.

Price for used cats probably just went down trying to sell them after GM's new 10year/120K warranty announcement on the 00-02 cats. Can't imagine what the shipping would be...but anyway, if you have the room to keep them might be worth something in the future.

Din't need mine any more, sold them on E-bay a few months ago. for about $100. I dont know why you would want to toss them. $100 is better than $0.

Who the hell, in the right mind, pays $100 for these hunks of junks?

You'd be better off shoving a beehive in a tin can.

Sold mine. FedEx Ground shipping from work actually wasn't that bad.

I've got a garage full of stock parts that I can't decide if I want to keep, try to sell, or just toss.

Sold mine for $125 on eBay. Easy money. Still have to stock manifolds and Y-pipe I haven't moved yet. (Haven't tried. Don't think there is a demand.) But that cats will sell without a doubt.

Aftermarket cats are too cheap, and flow too well, to ever think of putting the stockers back on. If you can sell them, get-r-done.
