Being as that very few people ever swap headers and they're not exactly a part that fails very often if ever, you would be lucky to have anyone come take them from you for free.

I would post them on eBay. Do a "Buy it now, or best offer" for $500. You never know...... I've sold stuff that way in the past. Hell, I bought new headlight assemblies from Sewell for $550, and then posted my old ones for sale. I got $175 for one and $135 for the other (Win!). Post the ad as "good until cancelled" and you only pay for posting it the one time.

+1 on posting it on ebay or your local classifieds.

it's illegal to sell used catalytic converters (except to scrap/recycling) unless they've been recertified by someone

this will vary a bit from state to state- but generally just selling a used cat for someone else to put on their car is against the law.

I didnt know it was illegal lol i used to buy used and sell them all the time with my other cars just trying to see if they are worth more than just scraping them ... i would post on ebay but they are not light and both ebay and paypal fees would just be the same as scraping lol
