I still have my cats from my car and don't think I will be re-using them, since we cut the piping for the stock exhuast. I remember reading someone mentioning that there is a place that buys our used cats for a decent ammount of money? If so I was wondering where it's located and what the phone number is, as mine are just sitting in my basement and I was almost ready to throw them out yesterday.

I googled that real quick, and called a few of em around me, but they arn't interested and told me to try a junk yard, I guess I'll try them next.


edit: Welp, I called this junkyard up:

A & B Auto Salvage, Inc.
No Description Available...
City, State Zip: East Hartford, Connecticut USA
Local Phone: 860-528-2124
Toll Free: 800-346-6318
Fax: 860-528-8859


And they said they buy em for around 20 bux, so I'll give them a shot and hopefully get around 40-60 bux for what I have, better than nothing I guess...I just thought I read that they buy each for a good deal more somewhere, I just remember anyone posting where.

40-60??? Thats way cheap man. At the shop we get about 90-100 for a stock gm cat. So you know the scrap guy is getting at least 200 for them.

I just cut the piping away from the cats, I was wondering how to package these, they seem pretty heavy, and I've actually never sent any packages out before. Do I just put them in a box with a lot of newspaper around it?

Just bring them to the UPS Store. They'll package them for ya.

If you cut the flanges off so all you have left is just the cat they should fit in a flat rate box at the post office

jimmy169

Sounds good, that's what I'll do then, thanks.

Guys I'm new here. Can someone PM info on where I can get the most money for my old CAT? I'm willing to ship it out if there is a reputable buyer.

What kind of car were they removed from. I'm looking for two cats for Camaro, Firebird. Will v6 stock cats be the same as v8 stock cats ? I'm here in Westchester a county New York.
