I weighed in my c70 cat last year and got £65,glad i did because i would have bined it aswell lol.

I'm always skip diving for scrap , where I work they're always chucking cats away coz they can't be bothered to take em to the scrappy, they call me a magpie but this one has the last laugh lol

[frobes2]

Scrap merchants pay good money cos of the precious metals in cats, £40 at least

Neat job cutting it open, what did you use? Are you going to weld it back up and use it? Let us know how you get on?

[theflyingbrick]

Last time i gutted a cat/cats was on a 3.0 Omega MV6, it sounded awful ! It sounded really raspy and sounded knackered lol, much rather replace with a bit of pipe.

How does it sound on yours ?
