    Where's the best place to sell a catalytic converter, anyway? I've got an old one kicking around.

    I sold mine to big house converters. Sometimes the bros (mostly brown guys) on Facebook marketplace will offer a bit more but it's hit or miss with them, most are flops.

    I've sold hundreds to them in the last couple of years. Fair prices and , no questions asked.

    They're certainly big, but I don't know if they are the BEST I've tasted.

    You should take a cut and drop off the converters for everyone.

    Honda cats are worth big bucks right now. I took mine out and replaced it with a shitty amazon one. Rather i make the 700 bucks than some crack head
    But what’s stopping a crackhead from stealing your Amazon one? Or are they so good these days that they can tell the difference between oem Honda and aftermarket?

    A typical import cat even on a 20 year old car will bring 200-300 bucks. Not bad for 30 seconds of work. Newer ones can bring double or more
    Dammit, I need to get some new blades for the sawzall…who’s paying for the cats??

    Edit…guess I need to read the following posts. I’m off to work!

    It looks different but they'll probably just take it. 150$ vs $700

    Was out in the mtns on Friday and met my buddy out by the Petro Can at the Cochrane turnoff. When we got back someone had cut his cat out and the vehicle next to him. There had likely been others I'm sure. Shitty way to end the day

    That’s a big assumption they can and are willing to read.

    It would be neat to somehow wire a sensor to your remote starter, so when the alarm is set and it senses noise in the catalytic area, the engine fires up.

    I can do this with a doppler sensor. I have the motion circuit designed right now. Just need to wire to a remote start.

    like.

    Be nice if the 2 way remote start would beep at you too, like the little song on the compustar to let you know the engine has successfully started

    Add about 100g of HE and some small nails/flechettes, put inside an outer housing around the cat/conv, set to detonate when that sensor is tripped, along with a vibrometer that acts as a failsafe needing enough vibration from a sawzall/whatever cutting in... ---- "I had no idea that was in my converter officer, somebody at the factory must have gotten tired of these guys thieving them....too bad about buddy and the 65 nails in the face, I hope that'll buff out...".

    Just let me know what voltage you need for the relay trigger and this can happen immediately. I even have plenty of projectiles. (lots n lots of steel balls)
