I've got a couple of cats and other unwanted exhaust bits lying around, taking up space and doing nothing much else. Just wondering how much I should be looking for if I were to weigh them in for scrap?

Cheers

I got £35 per cat last time I did it - only 3 weeks ago

Make sure they are the titanium CATS and not the newer composite ones (titanium ones are 99% manufaturer parts and the composite ones are usually aftermarket replacement jobbies)

They most be worth something as soon they will all be serial coded to deal with the amount of thefts at the moment

One of the girls at work had one nicked from her Kia 4x4 thingy and it cost a few quid to replace. The Police told her it was a common theft

That's my thoughts.

They are both original ones, one from a MK6 Escort, one from a WRX Impreza

Ginge !

mate you been screwed over

even the compistite cats contain PLATINUM, they coat the blocks ( metal and ceramic) with 3 metals platinun, rodium and something else, the cat works as a chemical reaction with these metals and converts them to different gasses

depends on the price of the metals about what percentage they coat the blocks

BUT as car are LIFE TIME items from main dealers they tend to over coat them

i just finished a 4 hour course about cat isses to discover why we had so many warranty issues and the causes ect

theres 2 types of cats, metal core or ceramix, they are all coated with 3 metals to do a chemical reaction,,,, thats all they do

if i had a scanner i would post up all the geeky notes i made

Ginge !

they all are, infact they also have the code of the person to welded it in most companys belive it or not

the price of metal is starting to go back down again so will sort that issue out im sure

I would wait a bit, i went to weigh a few in yesturday and they were down to about £20 per CAT, this was £55 per cat a few weeks back.
Say's its down to a fall in Platinum price.

Ginge !

its down to the fall in the price of ALL metals, its dropping,, and will keep dropping mate for the next few months

the price of metal was WAY too high for normal based on the shortage due to the far east now having alot more money and spending alot more

its not gonna go back up for a while PLUS they are ripping people off too at scrappys

We have a bloke who comes and collects our cats he gives us anywhere between £30 to £80 depending what it's off, most tend to go for about £50
