Am I missing something?
Wednesday, February 27, 2008 4:30 PM
I was searching today on ebay cause I need a new stock downpipe setup for my cavalier and came across this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-cavalier-scrap-catalytic-converter-convertor_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33629QQihZ022QQitemZ350030653721QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW . Am I missing something here or what? $81 for a catalytic converter that is scrap?

Ever heard of people stealing them?
Catalytic converters have Platinum in them.

I'd just stay away... sounds kinda like a gimmick/ play on words.... it says not for reuse.

High-flow: yes, stock: no.
I'm not entirely sure why though.

They are recycled for the platinum like Rob said. You can make pretty good money especially from import converters.

Hell yea. Larger vehicle and expensive import(bmw etc) cats can go for up to or more than $500. Tim man if I still had my stock downpipe Id give it to ya, dont know what I did with it I just have the manifold though.

Alright, well if you come across it let me know. I am debating whether to get a pre made one for like $180 or just get a new stock cat and the flex pipe and weld it.

Hey, the current bid for that cat is 103.61, rediculous!

auction has been removed.


i know in NJ its illegal to sell used cat converters.

sounds like a bunch of bull@!#$ to me.. just another way for autoshops and the state to rape you of your money.
