Platinum... Large CATS are worth about $45.00 each

Thats nice that they BUY them to sell as scrap. At the commuter lot I park in (not the vette) the thieves cut them off the cars.

Keep in mind that some aftermarket ceramic catalytic converters might not be worth as much. OEM converters contain platinum. Metal recycler would probably be your best bet.
