I was previously concerned about that, but I talked to him before I bought them, and he told me if I could save money to go ahead and buy them. MAYBE he was thinking, "ok, if he goes ahead and buys the cats, he's going to HAVE to let me install them" or something. I dunno, Like my 2nd quote a lot better, might try to talk them out of the cats this afternoon, but I'm still looking!

I'm guessing the exhaust guy knew you already somehow though.

Alright, found another Maggie guy in town.

$200 to remove 4 cats, install 2.

$350 to convert me to true duals.

Said HE would buy my 4 cats from me for $75 each:

$550 - $300 = $250 for High Flow AND True Dual Install


Ding Ding Ding We have a winner!

The metal that's inside the cat's that is the catalyst that reacts with the exhaust gases is PLATINUM, which as we all know costs more than gold. There's not a lot of platinum in them, but enough to make them worth something.
