I'll take the 2 bolt flange that connects to the resonator. Just the 2 ft section.

Is it a full exhaust, or cat back?
The cats could be expensive.

Thanks for the responses.............its the full exhaust, and is now in my basement. I guess I'll be putting it up in the for sale section !!

Also might want to consider whether the new exhaust will pass emission inspection if they have them in your area.

Just as a reference for pricing this is from the ford online parts catalog.

I will take it off your hands if you would like to donate to me, I would like to create a mockup system mandrel bent. So it would be a great help if you donate it to me. I could pay for shipping

Depends on your plans for the truck. i have gone through cars every two years for the past 14 years. I buy them, mod them, then drive them for two years. At the end of that i take the aftermarket parts off, and trade the stock car in on a different one. Then I sell all of the aftermarket parts. It is fun to do. I get new cars all of the time and get to see what they are able to do. Dealers like stock cars on trade better than modded ones. Besides, you get more for the aftermarket parts this way as well.
If you plan on keeping the truck, not much use in keeping it is there?

bingo. I do the same thing. if you trade, dealers could care less if you have $75,000 worth of stuff on your truck, it won't matter in the deal. I ALWAYS go back to stock on trade, sell (or use) anything I can on next ride, or set aside, or sell to guys on forums (I sold my aftermarket bumpers, shocks, wheels tires, etc all on this forum to fellow members).

Keep the OEM stuff, making a few bucks from it will pale in comparison if you need it back.

Sell it on craigslist or ebay.. I am sure some kid with a ratty f150 will buy it and put it on with his Raptor stickers..
