Thanks!

did it on my levin 20v and felt the increase of power and NOISE !!!

integra b16a no increase of power felt again incrase of noise but not much.

and did it to my altezza 3sge and didnt felt any power gain but much deeper tone in noise.

but for the lead 4afe have square plugs and on the 20v 4age has circle one, not too sure about the blue or red tops.

cats are worth good money btw, exhaust shops usually pay to take them off your hands, not sure what the money like though

They say you can't take the thing away cos they stock piling the suckers up the back and cashing them in. Yes they are worth a fair bit..

There's a specialist wrecker round the corner from my work called the cat man. Pays about $60-70 for a cat. Pretty good. Everytime a car gets dumped down at my storage unit I'll pinch the Cat.

Easy moneys

they've got some particularly expensive metal in them in small amounts

dont think it was platnum but cant rememer. probably not as platnum is stupidly expensive

Yep, it is platinum, and yes, it is stupidly expensive. So are some of the other metals used in cats like palladium and rhodium.

Current value of platinum is about US$42 per gram. So a few grams in each catalytic convertor soon adds up. And there is 2-8 grams in most cats from what i have read. So if you ever see a forty foot container of scrap cat convertors you're looking at quite a bit of bling

I got ripped off then.. When I put a new system in my old Subie, they took the cat out and never payed me for it :cry:
