I remember a while back someone had a post on selling a cat from a 95 Z and getting like 200 bucks. I called a few places around where I live and they said 50-75 for it.

Look in the want to buy section here. Seems there was a guy offering around 125 for each cat.

I typically get $50-100 for good used converters on ebay for recycling depeding on age, and size.

The material inside the cat is whats worth money. Not the shell itself.

I wonder what the actual value of oz of palladium in one cat vs the 125 dollars you get is.

I bet palladium sold in bulk makes hella $$$$, and we don't know it.

I just looked it up.... ready for it?




THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY ONE DOLLARS PER OUNCE!!!!!!!!!!!



Now, the question is, how many oz is in a cat, and how much work is needed to get it out of there.

FWIW, it's a LOT of work, some relatively simple chemistry, a LOT of heat in a blast furnace (2500+ for a couple days in a rotational blast furnace) and then further refinining to get purity above 70-80%.

And it's not just palladium, there IS platinum in most cats too.

Happens I once worked for a place that extracted it.

To get an idea of just how hot you have to get it, I had a tan all winter from the UV the furnace threw off.

RS beast is def not palladium

Its platinum as posted before. Platinum is the only metal that absorbes the harmful gases that come out of our cars
