Oh bad timing, I just threw mine out last week after having it in my garage for over 4-months! What are you doing with one anyway?

Gutting a cat isn't a project, it's anger management.

No, I would never do that to you guys....ah that's too bad nhlbill.....My project is I'm buying one of your old cats and then hollowing it, and welding a pipe through it and then installing it on my truck.....I know what you guys are saying, why don't you just hollow it? By ive heard ones hollowed and ive heard ones with the pipe and theres a difference......Thanks all

My truck mods-
Reflashed computer 93 oct
Hedman Headers
fipk no more
Flowmaster 40 duel exhaust

PS- do you have one bouncer?

but guys dont ditch your old cat, in most cities , there is people who pay 20-80$ for an old cat depending on which car it comes from.

the tv show "How Did They Do That"
has an episode where they go to a deep mine in Montana
and follow how platinum & paladium metal
is mined, refined, finally
is made into a catalytic converter

Yes I saved my old cat. Has 90k through it. I am in the process of moving within the next two weeks. If you pay for the shipping it's yours. I have PayPal but will discuss other if it will help with your project.

Here people are litterally stealing cats from cars and truckswhen they are parked at night, they get 100$ for it, since the platinum inside themworth quite alot of dough.

its getting stupid, now they steal cats form an entire row of vehicles (SUV and TRUCKS), parked at the dealership, stealing 20-50 cats at the time with a battery powered sawzall...

where the world is going...
