Default Stock exhaust scrapable?

Have my entire old exhaust laying around taking up space... Is it worth scrapping? I have both manifolds and y pipe back to the rear end. What will it bring?

Couple bucks. I'd say put it on ebay with no reserve. If it doesn't sell it'll only have cost you like 50 cents for listing. and craigslist at the same time.

Who knows what it'll bring. GL with sale.

Im not going to bother with taking the time to sell it when it probally wont bring anything. Its either trash or ill drop it at the scrap yard, just wondering if its even worth loading in the truck.

What do you guys do with your old cats to get cash for them? I have the old ones of my 98 Camaro with 60K miles on them. Are they worth anything?

ya the cats dropped dramatically, a local guys said the price of platinum plummted and to just hold on to them for awhile itll proly go back up. as for the rest the exhaust u should be able to sell the manifolds and y and get some money out of them nut much but better then scraping them and id try that with the catback as well

You will get more money selling the cats on the internet then you will taking them to a local scrapper.

I only got $40 for the manifolds, cats, and y-pipe assembly, plus associated hardware. It was almost not worth the trip, but it did give me a tank of gas in the DD.

depends on where u go they were pretty close in my area and then the price plummeted, you have to factor in the shipping price and hassle of fing with that, right now u dont get **** for them online or locally.

The manifolds are cast iron. The rest of it is 409 stainless.
