Arrow A reason to go with test pipes

Interesting article... I hadn’t really thought about the value in this respect:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23117250

I guess there’s one reason to go with test pipes

I dont think we have to worry about anyone stealing OUR cats. A theif would see how long it would take to remove them and move on to an easier car.

+1, I think I would go after SUV's so I wouldn't have to jack the car up to get to them

According to the article it's not hard for them... they don’t unbolt it - they cut it out... and they aren’t re-selling for use, they are reselling the "precious metals"... so they only need a portion.

I'm not saying anyone has anything to worry about... I find it hard to believe anyone would go to any trouble... but the economy is getting crappy so some people my do stupid ****.

I just thought it was interesting that the amount of metal was even worth anything. $2K-$3K in 30 minutes!!!?... That’s more than ANY of us make (combined)!
