    Catalyc converter advice:

    what make cats so complicated is they contain every precious metal in different combinations. Platnum, rodium, gold, silver and one i forget now but that is worth over $10,000 per oz. of course it is in minute quantitys.

    Palladium is the other metal. Rhodium did make it around $10,000 an oz but is now just shy of $2000. Platinum is around $1800. Palladium is roughly $800. I don’t think there is gold or silver in them but….

    This link has the break down of metals in different cats. Starts on pg 11. Slow to load but informative.
