factory ones are worth between 40 to 70 bucks as long as the honeycomb is still intact. you only get 20 for the aftermarket ones. I believe their after the platnium in them. Guys are advertising all over craigslist to buy them. We have a recycler that comes by our shop to buy them.

There's a guy paying $130 per pair or $65 per cat here. I was going to ship my old cats off to him but my dad was telling me that I can get a lot more for them.
One of my mechanic friends just sold two cats for $300 total to a guy to gets the metal out of the middle. If he's paying $300, it makes me wonder how much he's selling the metal for.

My mom works for the USDA and someone started to cut the cat off their semi-new Chevy pickup a while back--didn't finish the job for some reason. The police said they can make meth out of some of the guts of a cat. I thought that was kinda off the wall but then again I don't make meth.
