Scott Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Are stock CAT pipes worth anything? Getting my car de-catted tomorrow and wondering whether its worth while holding onto them to sell or just to bin them? I'm pretty sure i won't need them as i have a few friendly MOT testers who can take care of the car. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 people look for cats around MOT time but i'm sure people tend to just lend them out? but yeah, someone mihg need it yeah?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiten55 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 worth keeping the 2nd one, just incase your friendly tester gets banned (mine did) or moves etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 I can't keep them here as i don't have the space or i would lend them out from time to time. I'll just let the garage do what they want with them then lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolarbag Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 The first one isnt worth anything, as its steel [or iron...cant remember] core, the 2nd is the lucrative one, with all those nice metals, but not sure who buys them in Glasgow, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy W Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 As in for scrap? It's probably more hastle than it's worth to scrap the thing tbh mate. You would prob waste more money in petrol than you would get back for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I would have been interested in the 2nd cat if you were closer, mine is rusting quite badly. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 they are supposed to be worth a few quid if you take them to your local scrappers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 2nd cat is worth around £60 down here, dont leave it with the garage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 it depends whats inside the cat as down here in suffolk there has been a spate of thefts of cats off allsorts of vehicles to take down the scrappy to sell on, i did know of a company in warminster that pays £40 for any cat and they go to all the garages claiming to dispose of them properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steb9780 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I sold a first cat last night for around £37 plus postage on ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Someone has PM'd me so, depending on postage, i'm selling for £30 to members posted. As long as its £20 or less to post i'll let it go Don't think many people will be interested in the 1st so i'll stick that on ebay. Thanks for the info guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
