I ran over a damn bear at 75 mph and Fu*ked up my cat pipe. This part is $900 new, so i'm looking for a used one or any other viable alternative. I've taken it to several muffler shops, but the crack is betweenthe parallel section. Help!

You ran over a *bear*?

My whole exhaust system wasn't even $900, I'd look around for better prices.

 

Yea, it's one o' them stories you would tell over a couple cold ones. I was rippin' through the Blue Ridge mountains at 0 dark thirty, coming home from a TDY (Millitary temporary duty) and I came around this blind corner only to find smokey lying in the middle of the friggin' road! I didn't even have time to blink, then I wuz airborn. Man I knew my car could fly, but this was ridiulous:sillylol: ANYWAY...it was pretty smushed up from several tractor trailers so it just kinda acted like a ramp, I was sh*tin' kittins while my luggage flew all over the the place.

I had installed all new front end parts as well as new tires a couple of months before, and now I had a right tie-rod end that resembled a boomarang. Had to drive 2500 miles back to Utah like that. Chewed up my brand new tires as well .

Back to the exhaust, 'cause it's a dual cat set-up as well as an EMISSIONS part, it would cost me that much to get it replaced. I think i'm screwed. Man, I hate bears.
