    What are our catalytic converters made out of?

    Hey, i've been getting calls for my catalytic converters from these recyclers. Something is up. Are our stock catalytic converts made of a special metal they're looking for?

    There's big money in cat recycling these days. To my knowledge, there is nothing specific about ours that they are after; rather I think its the platinum/rhodium/palladium that can be found in all cats.

    Where..? Sounds like a decent way to pay for a couple lobes on a new cam... Come to think of it, I got my wife's old set too...

    Same here. I have the factory H from my 98 mustang that needs to go to the recycler. What should I look for in the yellow pages?
