Hey folks, I have the original set of cats that came with my car. I am planning on selling them, hopefully to someone on the list that can make good use of them at a good price.

I have never sold a set of cats so what information or photos do I need to provide to give the buyer the appropriate information?

Also, I'd appreciate some input on price, and whether it's worth to sell or just take it to a salvage place.

Here are the pics I have:

looks like these have been modified ,
BUT they could be used for a stock system if the added on pipes are carefully cut off.

most people give them away or toss them. In some states it is illegal to sell used cats.

Who throws away cats? They're worth a bunch at any metal recycling yard that buys scrap metal.

Yeah, I hadn't realized the cats had those welded extensions. I guess they are kind of a mess and likely not much use for sale. :-(

Can't sell without an asking price.....

in Indiana, you need to provide the title of the vehicle the cats were removed from.

the 928 cats are ceramic so good luck selling them as scrap. (No sarcasm, I'm wishing you luck) I tried years ago to sell my entire stainless factory exhaust to a scrap place and they wouldn't take the cats. Later cars used metal cats and for a while people's cars were getting the cats stolen until the metal recyclers started requiring an ID and a certification from the state to sell scrap metal. (at least here in Texas)

The place over here by me wanted to give me $200 each for the ones I have. I keep each one of them because there is always someone looking for the factory ones.

Keep them out of scrapyards. They worth a lot for someone that has to have an OE set and that would be at least all of CA.

Good call~! I didn't even get that much for the entire exhaust. It had been cut up and modified quite a bit so it was not something someone else could have used. I need to know where you take your scrap metal. I have more stuff to get rid of.

It is illegal to sell used cats in California. It isn't illegal to sell used exhaust in California though

Here in Michigan we can get anywhere from $100 to $200 at the scrappers for them.

And so those of us high-milers who need OEM cats replaced in California are supposed to do what, exactly?

The Forgotten On

Buy them used and report the sale as a used mid muffler. You see used sets sometimes on ebay sold as a 928 exhaust. Easy way to get around using wording.
