81 Exhaust System
I removed the exhaust system to install Hooker Sidepipes/Headers and was wondering what I should do with the original system...try to sell it....is there a market??....or just scrap metal. I was able to sell the mufflers but I have everything else including a "cat test pipe."

Fwiw - I sent my old factory '81 system straight to the metal recycler when I removed it.

Street Rat: yeah...that was what I was thinking as well. I will probably put in on Craigslist, not sell and then take it to the metal recycler in a month.
Oh well.....

Actually the entire system is in pretty good condition, no holes or anything. My '81 was from Southern California, then Phoenix, then Tucson....so no real moisture to worry about. I have not done a thing with the pieces yet, been sitting there for over two years now that I think about it.....geez...I really need to get rid of them.

Exhaust manifolds are in very good shape, not cracked. Even have the heat shields for both sides. I need to get busy, take some pictures and get the parts posted.....tomorrow.
