Default Why is a cat so hard to find!??!?!?!?

I have been looking all over for a STOCK cat for my car. I bought mine without one and it seems that no one gets rid of them.. Whats up with that? Is there no one on here that replace their cat with a high-flow that is interested in selling the old one!??!?!?

Please help, I need to quiet my car soon!

You are basically up against a law that prohibits the sale of used catalytic convertors. Now it is not that people are afraid of getting caught for selling one to a private party. But rather people want to have a spare just in case they cannot pass with their high flow cat. And since people know they can't just pick one up at a salvage ayrd, they keep theirs.

I'll have the stock cat off of my CRX in December. But it has 177k miles on it, not sure if it works too well.

Forget that law.. if i dont find one soon I'm gonna go to the junk yard and unbolt one and toss it over the fence.. I can't afford to spend $100 on a part I don't even want on my car

I might have my cat from my 88 rex laying around. I am not sure if I threw it away or not.
I will check if you want me to.
