It's only a breeze block in there

Unless its a 2 parts one with the cat built in?

Depends on design etc. I scrapped an Audi one in for £60. But the scrap bloke said other ones are worth nothing, like the Mercedes ones. Need to find a proper cat scrapper.

also depends on construction, if it's just a ceramic one they aren't worth much, platinum finished ones rake in the rewards

check the construction is it a swirl or honeycomb, as a rule honeycombs are precious
