    Does anyone know the serial numbers on the cats for these cars? Not a biggie, just don't want to crawl under it. Apparently the market price at the recyclers is peaking right now so I want to get a price quote, but I need those serial numbers, one for each cat. IIRC, one is EA9?

    I see you are wanting to sell it for recycle. If it is good it may be worth mor to sell it as a working unit. People steal them frequently

    I have been trying to sell them to owners for years. It's a tough market. But I also hang on to them waiting for the precious metals market to go up. They have a book value to me of about $700. Based on the offers I'm getting on my ads from the recyclers, I'm thinking they're worth close to $900 now.
