Free factory exhaust bits (G8)

[Rescue56]

Hello, I've had the factory manifolds, cats, and mid section pipes laying around for awhile now. All cut down for easy transportation to the dump. Figured I would ask if someone needed any of this before getting rid of it.. It's off my 6.0 G8. Located at RAF Lakenheath

Cats are worth money to reclaim I beleive.

You Get Cash for Cats

Take em and ID to your local neighbourhood scrap metal merchant and they'll give you some money

Or

Take em to your local waste refuse centre and they'll beat you out of the gate to get to your local neighbourhood scrap metal merchant...

Scap man payed me £80 for the cats off my Monaro

[Rescue56]

Lol. Ok well I'll do that with them then. Is there value in any of the rest of the pieces? It's the 2 resonators, and mid muffler. Or is that just scrap? I remember hearing about the cats before, but never anything on the other pieces.

Good to know, I'll have to check where the nearest place is for that here.

I don't think your headers will be any good for UK cars, because your steering column is in a different place to ours.

Good point, didn't even think of that. Not sure if the design is different or not, but odds are it is. Do you think the rest of these items are worth anything to anyone, or should I just toss them out? Figured I would ask before throwing it all away.

Standard headers are pretty short. I would check with someone that knows before ruling them out.

G8 wont have headers they are factory iron manifolds IIRC.

[Magic919]

For us Brits, headers is just a foreign word for manifolds.

[Rescue56]

I use to call the factory manifolds headers, but people kept getting confused so now it's just manifolds for me ha.. But yes, they are just standard short iron manifolds. I personally would think they fit, but couldn't say for sure.

This ^^^^. Therefore worthless.

They could, but everyone with VXR8s are already on tube manifolds, so cast ones would be a backward step.

Must be nice to get better setups from factory. Well, on that note I'll just find a scrap metal shop and sell them there. Appreciate the info guys.

It's a shame, as the tubing will be the same as mine, and it would be nice to use it to fabricate something a little different. The problem is that the 'stainless' is not a very high grade, and it would cost just as much to reclaim bits from yours as it would to fabricate new.
