Bring em' to me.....lol. We have a guy that stops by and pays big $$$$ for the mercedes and bmw converters, as much as $200 a piece. Stop at a shop that does a lot of exhaust work, hopefully they'll hook ya up.

Are you guys aware that there are a lot of cases of people sawzalling cat converters off people's cars and selling them?

The owner of a Durham Monro shop tells me the reason is they create precious metals like platinum as a by-product. The thieves get them off cars parked in lots, sell them, and whoever buys them has the equipment to cut them open for what's inside.

It isn't a byproduct, but the cats are made with platinum and palladmium, if you have a newer vehicle it may have rhodium also. At most dealerships they get picked up every other week or so along with brake rotors, AC compressors, and other miscelaneous parts. If you take any of these to a dealership or have a friend that works at one they may be able to help you.
