I actually think the kid I had take it to the guy got 100 bucks off the top. Maybe 50?.
I know they look for some #s stamped in the thing before they make you an offer.
There’s also a scrap place near my work that takes them. He’s a little more legit than the other guy who always wants to meet me behind groceries stores.

This is the first quote I received. I will hold onto them if that is all I can get now. Seems prices have dropped a lot. My guess is demand is low for new ones due to the slowdown in auto manufacturing due to the China chip backlog.

He's still on FB, haven't seen him here in ages. And I think he's still buying.
$400 is enough to buy you a cheap aftermarket Y-pipe on ebay. If you want something like Borla or Magnaflow, $400 won't get you as far.
I am hoping to get more than $410. Double would be great but that is all they offered today.
The most I think I have gotten for those parts numbers is are $700 I think. The advanced evaps ones were more like $1800 at one point but they’ve gone way down
I had the exhaust done last year. I had asked the shop to give me back the Cats so I could sell them and he came back with an offer for them. So it paid for the exhaust and cash in my pocket. In hind sight I probably should have gotten new Cats put back in to help with the rich exhaust smell.
My Cats were more than likely from a D2. Whoever installed the Y-pipe used a D2 one. Plugged the rear OBD2s and running some generic O2s. I only realized this after getting new O2s for my 95 RRC and they were smaller than the ones I pulled.
You may want to reach out to him because typically he will ask for pictures before offering a price.
