Default How much for cats???

What should a guy expect to pay for a set of cats off a 2002 Z-28 with less than 3,000 miles on them???

Do you want Hi-Flow cats??? I was charged $240 for some Hi-Flow's, from a local performance shop. However, i got a set of Magnaflow Spun Hi Flow Cats from Jegs.com for $206.

It also depends on the brand name your going after, some cost more then the other.

what I am trying to do is gauge interest in the cats off of my camaro. They are factory GM with less than 3,000 miles on them. I just want to set a fair price for them.

when people buy cats they usually dont care about the mileage they usually just put them on here to pass smog then take them right off

Why so you can turn around and sell them to the guy that gives 145 for a pair? Not to sound like a dick but alot of people put cats for sale and noone is a good eough person to tell them they are worth more then the asking price

To the OP there is a guy on here that will buy them for 140 and you ship them I think it cost me 10bucks to ship them. Also I would see if anyone wants them first before giving away a basicly brand new set of cats

Damn right, all you have to do is search catalytic converter in the parts wanted section and you'll see the guys in post 7 and 11.
If I was trying to sell something I'd see what they're going for in the sale section, then check the wanted section.

Not to mention my cats are still under factory warranty for 35,500 more miles and 28 more months. Standard factory warranty.
No one selling cats is a decent enough person to tell people that, now what!

Yes… I also buy all factory cats...

I pay $145 per pair or $70 for each factory LS1 LT1 LS2 LS6 GTO GM cats.

I pay by check or paypal, your choice.
Send your payment information with your cats, when you send them.
I pay within 24 hours after I receive your cats.
Please be sure to include your payment information in the box along with your LS1tech User Name.


Send cats to:
Dave McElrath
2942 Crosby Ave
Pittsburgh , PA 15216

No gutted or internally broken cats. Broken studs, bad flanges a-ok.
You can cut them out of the piping if you want.
The more you cut, the cheaper it is to ship. I just need the cats.
Fedx ground is cheapest.

Or , if you cut away all the piping , they will fit into a USPS ‘flat-rate” box &
Cost you only $8.95 from anywhere to me. Free “flat-rate” boxes at your post-office.

You can also send me all other factory cats, & I will pay you top dollar, for your cats... I can only price all cats, when delivered to the scrap-yard, as there are 1,000s of different factory cats made. Or email me a picture at lindadave83@hotmail.com

Check out my Trader Ratings at the top of the LS1Tech.com page.
I'm #3 on the list with 229 trades & a 100% rating...
