Used cat's are not worth much - even in Nazi emissions-friendly Commiefornia. eBay sells used cat's for $75-$150. Of course, you might get lucky and find someone who is willing to pay more but that is not typical.

As for the scrap value of the platinum - while there are several GRAMS of this exotic material in a cat (28 grams per ounce), when the recovery cost is included in the equation, the materials recovery value from a used cat isn't exactly a gold mine (and hence, why they sell for $75-$150 on eBay).

I needed an exhaust clamp for the cats to the u-pipe (just ordered it yesterday). Anyway, I was looking on eBay for exhaust clamps and I noticed to the side where you can narrow your search that I could narrow it by new / used. I just had to giggle about people selling used exhaust clamps. While I'm sure there were a couple rare clamps on there that you could only find used, most of them seemed very ordinary and very used. Just amusing to me and perhaps that may be the way to go. I would rather be rid of it than let it sit around cluttering up my garage or storage area.

Ask BruceH. He got some really cool ones. I bought a set through him/with his help. I don't remember the company but they mold to the exhaust and are a breeze to take on and off - I have proved that 3+ times since I have had them!

Here is a pic…it is the clamp In line of sight) just past the muffler.


It is connecting my Cat Bypass pipes. They weren't very expensive and are heavy duty!
