Any deleted/removed catalytic cnvtrs for sale?
Is it possible to re-use someones deleted cat's if they have cut them out but are still are in working condition? i've seen many on these boards who did the cat/resonator delete but wasnt sure what people do with the cats once removed so figure why not sell them if still usable??? if this is a bad idea or too difficult to re-use please let me know but so far i've not seen any posts on the board about this as a solution for bad/rattling secondary cats so wanted to ask.
If so, I am interested in purchasing both secondary cat's that anyone has removed/deleted and is interested to sell if in working condition?
I am in chicago. please PM me. thx

Well, you're technically not supposed to legally sell cats, HOWEVER (and this is not saying that I've done it before 
) people do it on eBay all the time.
The legal way is that they have to be tested by some certified firm of some crap, but obviously if you remove them and you haven't f***ed with them they will still work.
On that note, I'm getting my secondary cats and resonator cut out of my car sometime in January...

Also, to answer your question on it being difficult, depends on what you think difficult is. It's obviously not as simple as just bolt them on, but any exhaust shop can weld them into your exhaust as long as they know what they're doing and where they need to go along the pipes. So just keep in mind you'll have to spend a little $ on that too, but if you've already got piping throughout, I can't imagine it would be too bad.
