I recently replaced the old catalytic converter on my car due to a CEL. I hear the OEM converters are sent somewhere to be extracted for its precious metals. Anyone know where I could sell my old converter around Gwinnett? Thank you.

any metal place/ scrap yard should give you a fair amount for it.

I wasn't expecting much, maybe $40 or so. Would muffler shops take it off my hands?

Blaze in Lawrenceville isn't open to the public and Norcross offered me only $35!!! Guess I'll just keep it in my garage for a while then.
