    they have the same stuff but much lower amounts. Thats why originals last 5-10+ years and aftermarkets last 2-3 years if your lucky. Our shop sells new aftermarkets and thats about as long as they last. New OEM can cost thousands. Aftermarkets are 150-300 new.

    Aftermarkets are Cheap cheap. I hear a bird....
    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

    catalytic converter scrapping price

    speaking of birds. I had a little one tell me of a company that is getting rid of a bunch (100?) of a new, never used (most never assembled) industrial (aprox 3" thick 18" diameter [different sizes]) cats.

    If anyone has a few grand laying around I'll get you the name.

    aftermarket ones dont have hardly anything good in them.I get 7 for them but they are almost not worth taking to time to cut off lol.

    Everyone post up these converter buyer links **** i need to make a website since everyone knows i mess with them but never seem to get a single one from anyone on here lol.

    I was just trying to find the OP a buyer with pic's and noticed that one was in the same state, they are not anyone I deal with.
    By all means, do not use them if your offended by the prices,,,

    Try and find a core buyer. Thats what i do. Just sold 6 misc cats and got 520 bucks. The large bread loaf (GM) cats are worth around 100 bucks here. I had two of those in the mix lol funny cause the one car cost me 50 bucks.
