I'd like to get someone's old evo8 cat (or evo9 if they are the same size and stuff). It's 2.5" I believe, so that's what I need. The stock one, so I can pass emissions here in Texas, no need for a test pipe or anything. I am willing to wait for a good deal, so 30 bucks or so plus shipping if anyone has one taking up space in the garage.

 

you know you can scrap a converter out and easily get $100 out of it, im not sure who would take the time to ship something that weights 20 lbs. It would cost $30 just to ship it. im not trying to troll around just read this and figured I would give you a heads up, you might be waiting around awhile.

 

+1 on scrapping the cat convertor. Hornstar wants to make a buck off of some unsuspecting seller.

 

Lol...no, hornstar wants to make a custom 16g turbo kit and is hoping someone wants to sell their stock cat. Regardless, if by the time the build starts I don't have a seller, I'll go with the 60 dollar magnaflow cat.

 

Fair enough on the shipping.....that's why I said 30 bucks PLUS whatever it costs you to ship it

 

ill do 100 shipped if u want it

 

i have a magnaflow universal 3 inch cat for sale if you need it

 

I just scrapped an evo 8 cat for $115

 

i have at least one maybe more evo 8 cats for sale, all with a MAX 18k miles on it, in perfect condition. that being said, 30 bucks + any sort of shipping is wayyyyy to low of a price. you will be waiting a very long time. I am not trying to be rude or discourage you in any way, I am just saying from experience.

I have some buddies with cats for sale, I will see if any of them are willing to part them out since some are in TX. if I find anything, ill make sure to let you know. best of luck with the search.

 

Cool cool, don't both with all this then. I saw a post from someone saying "selling stock 8 catback exhaust, I'm also including the cat, 30 bucks for the whole thing if you pick it up" I've since ordered a magnaflow high flow cat and will just get it welded up so I can pass inspection.

 

just to throw this in there also I scraped mine out yesterday and got $150 for it lol Pretty easy cash if you ask me.
Btw I get what you where trying to do, you figured used exhaust parts just get thrown out so why wouldnt someone just need to get rid of a cat laying around and you needed to pass inspection you figured it would be cheaper lol What people dont realize is those things are really worth some money.

 

I can sell you my ur high flow cat its 3" ss with 4miles on it and yes I'm serious 4 mile friend was late getting old bolts out of modded test pipe that looks like a cat but I want 120 plus shipping.

 

so in theory- couldn't you buy magnaflow high flow cats for $60 then sell them to the junkyard for $150?

 

probably not, they wont have the same mass of rare metals that the stock one does. btw, where is a good place to scrap a cat? any metal yard?

 

OEM makes, and aftermartet makes are much different. Honeycomb vs Foil, etc. And the actual amount(weight) of the rare metals inside changes. So no, if you took a universal cat in, you would prob get 20 bucks for it.


Correct.

Call around - some places offer different pricing depending on greed.
