Holy crap. That would be a lot quieter than a sawsall.

A guy I work for got into his Escalade one morning, started it up and heard a sound like a fuel dragster warming up.

How much can they be getting for these things? I bought one new for my Bimmer online for $120. Are the large block cats a whole lot bigger, with more platinum?

At the local Pick 'n Pull they have a sign up: "Due to govt. regs, we cannot sell used cats," not to mention they cut them all out with hydraulic scissors first thing.
