hey everyone! just wondering if anyone knows of anywhere that buys old catalytic converters? i finally got the high flow one welded in and didn’t want to just throw out the old one… i was told about R.k freidmans in green island but they only were offering ten dollars… wondering if that’s average or if there’s any place offering more? ---

Pretelz is a RIP OFF. Only worth it if you have minimal shit and going to the port wouldnt pay off. With any kind of bigger load, go to the port for sure ---

I tried getting rid of a couple cats I had laying around. The scrap yards wouldn’t give me anything because they weren’t made of metal and meowed all the time. but seriously, I called around to a bunch of places including the port, it’s not even worth the drive if you only have one, I think they said they give $10 for small/medioum passenger car cats, and $25 for large truck cats.
