Default Is it legal to sell a lightly used cat?

Hello everyone, I have a Magnaflow direct fit cat, that was only on the truck for about 2-3 months. It is a Federal emission cat, part number 23455. The reason why I am selling it is because my truck is California emissions, not Federal. I wanted to know if it is legal to sell this cat, because I do not want to get in trouble.

I believe it's illegal to sell a used catalytic converter.

Ok, thats good to know. Would it still be illegal if I gave it in to a junkyard and got some money for it? It's a real shame, cause it's basically brand new, and it sounded great on my truck. It cost me $195 on Summit Racing. I already replaced it with a California emissions one from Magnaflow also.

It's only truly illegal if you get caught.

junkyard will take it... there are scrappers who deal in those things. though the aftermarket cats you usually dont get squat for. if you have a old giant one off like a fullsized pick up truck you can get like 40-50 bucks. last time i gave a aftermarket cat away i got $5. this is one of those things where you can just hang onto it till someone you know needs it or give it to someone who will use it. probably aint worth anything to a junkyard

This is one of those word of mouth things. Tell some friends you're looking to get rid of this Cat, and they may tell someone who knows someone who needs one... get my drift? lol.

x2. I wouldn't junk it. I didn't know that it was illegal to sell a used cat, b/c a junk yard will sell you a used one to put on your car.

Yea, I might as well hold on to it until someone needs it. My brother has a black blazer just like mine, but his is a 2000. From what I've seen on Magnaflow's website, his cat is different from this one.
