Fella's,

Here's the problem with separating the flex pipe/cat.

1.) It is one piece. I would have to do extra work and cut these things. Sawsall or torch, which I don't have. To be honest, taking these things to a muffler shop, cutting them, and selling the flex pipes for a $100 (or whatever), is not really worth the time. Not to mention the $30-$60 they will charge me for 5 minutes of work. I would also have to trash the cats, as they are basically worthless at this point.

2.) On your end, you would have to weld or fabricate a connection to your cat. I'm not sure this is the way to go...

** I think $300 is very reasonable, when others are charging more (used), and Dodge is raping people at around $2,000. Although, you may get lucky and find someone that will give them away.... Oh well, good luck either way...

Later
