    Just looking for some stock cats for my ol'truck. I dont really want to spend any money and max performance isnt my chief concern. Just want to get some newer cats with fewer miles on them, which will have to be a far cry from the high mileage mammoth of a converter thats on it now. So, i know the chances are slim, but if any of you guys are upgrading to some aftermarket cats and your stockers dont have too many miles, i would really appreciate it if you could hang on to them for me instead of giving them to the muffler shop.

    It's against federal law to sell used cats in a junk yard. Salvage yards all over Dallas/FtWorth informed me of that when I needed some. I went to the local F-body hotrod shop and dug a pair out of their trash pile for free. They said I could have all of their trash for free.

    I hear the new cats don't use platinum anymore. The old cats in the 70s, 80s and early 90s did.
