If you're getting only $35 for import cats then you are getting the shaft, I'm sure you are making more than that and just lying to increase profits. I know, I've recycled them before.

Chris,

The bulk of the small recyclers specialize in raping you. I know a guy local who just sold his perfect condition 93 f150 cat to a place for only $25. I know if he decided to travel to a larger city (maybe an hours drive) with bigger industry he could have possibly gotten double that price. Import cats are fetching the biggest bang per buck - I would assume because of the advanced technology of fuel efficiency and being environmentally friendly (Bosch systems in european cars have been around longer than honda has been making cars). Like I said, asian cars pay but you can expect jack ---- for your 1980s K car catalytic converter. PM me next time you have a few to sell, I'll get you hooked up.

Oh yeah, I never let any of my acura/honda cats go for under $50 when I'm selling them to random people on forums. If the person lives in a shitty place that enforces emissions and is in a bind then they will pay. I think I'll have a 90/91 integra cat for sale here soon - I'm thinking about installing another resonator in place of the cat because my custom mandrel bent exhaust is LOUD + obnoxious (yet I can't bring myself to make a normal muffler sacrifice).

Just go to a couple local muffler shops and play dumb...say you heard they have a good recycler and wondered if you could get their number or refer you to someone.

If anyone has or knows of any places to get mercedes/bmw/porsche cats..let me know they're exotic and they're $$$$ if you can get one to me you'll get more money than just bringing it to a recycler. Ones off from 80's and 90's chevy and gmc trucks are pretty good too..let me know..i'm not really interested in like one single cat, though..unless its a european/exotic one


I'll pay $50.00 for Honda/Acura cats

$30.00 for manifold cats such as the HF.
