Wow. Great information everyone. I will look for more specific information (parts numbers, etc.) and get some better pictures. Funny thing is I a drive an '08 Ford F-250 Diesel and had to replace the entire exhaust system about a year ago. It completely clogged at 103,000 miles. Since I had multiple problems with it (exhaust system) from about 20K miles on and had a long service history with it, Ford chipped in and it only cost me $1600 out of pocket. They were originally quoting around over $6K. This guy told me he had about the same problem and had a friend who worked at the dealershiphelp him do it themselves after hours/weekend.

How do you go about taking these things in without the yard trying to rip you off? I go to multiple yards throughout Houston. My work has me driving all over town so no where is out of the question if anyone has a referal to a good scrap dealer who handles these things.

Thanks again for everyone's help. I have had these stored for a couple months just because I didn't know how to proceed with them.

If anyone has anymore info, please pass along.
