Damn! Did not know that

Oh well we actually don't have too many scrap yards around here anyways

All Cats are worth big money. They have some precious metals in them that recyclers want. Never throw your old ones away. In the last few years I have heard on the news where people will cut the converters out at night on cars in a used car lot or something like that, just for the salvage value.

At our church, when we scrap a donated car, we cut the cats out and save them to sell to a different scrapper. We get more for the cat than the whole car.

Its not too terrible on the highway, but if you are going up and down hills the drone gets up there.

Only time I get bad drown is around 1600-1700 RPM @ 65 or so but as soon as I get over that it is not bad. Only when the cruise tries to accelerate up hills. I drove back 4 hours after getting it done in upstate. It didn't bother me too much, but it is definitley louder than stock (captain Obvious)

I don't drive Highways too much anyways, I am driving 2 hours up and 2 hours back tonight on 95 so I'll let you know then. I didn't pay too much attention to it, nothing the radio can't fix

cant be as bad as my car cause if i go above 65 in my car it gets really loud and when i turn the radio up to cover the noise you cant talk to anyone in the car cause it has to be so loud.

I drove up 2 hours to Columbia last night and came back and it was not that loud. Only loud part was what I described earlier, it was loud getting on the HWY and really getting on it around 65-75 to speed up is when the drone kicks in.

Overall I am super happy with this setup!
