I have taken cats to the recyclers before. I live in MD. Now they did have to add all my info to their system off my license, photocopy my lic, and wrote me a check. I guess that's covering their butt in case it's stolen, but really no way they could tell, cats don't have the VIN stamped on them.
I would bet like everyone is saying the cats just can't handle a turbo car, the egt, and like said compare one to a stock cat, even just the size, factory cats are sometimes physically twice as big.

Right right, stuff like that also, a dealership I used to work at got jacked for 2 cats, kinda funny they just had a flange on each end and just some nuts holding those gigantic things on, diesel rams. Cops checked the local recycler and nothing, they even take pics and add all that stuff on file if it looks fishy, like 2 gigantic brand new diesel ram cats. Dealer cost was only 3k a piece, the sales manager was not happy lol. Dude just rolled underneath, no need to jack up, and probably had them off in a minute with a ratchet wrench or battery impact. The only reason they found it was cause a sales guy went to move the truck for a customer to drive. It came into service with a repair order that said "exhaust is loud" lol. Then they looked around and found a 2nd truck.
Haha that's some funny stuff.
