Cat Converter Theft

[birdmove]

There is a component in these that is worth money...platinum. That must be the reason. When I worked in Washington State repairing the big rigs, we used to be able to replace a muffler, say on a Kenworth, with a standard 5" inlet and outlet unit. They were cheap. We sold them for like $60.00. A local used truck dealership had us replace lots of them if they even looked ratty. Then the law changed. If a truck came with a cat from the factory, you must replace it with a cat. Imagine the reaction from the used dealer when the $60 cheap muffler changed into 1 $3000.00 cat. converter.
