I got $40 for both if mine a few weeks ago, I got screwed big time. I'm an idiot. You should get at least $35 each.

Yeah at LEAST $35 but really you should get over $40 a piece. It all depends on where you go and what the going rate is. Call around different scrap yards before you go so you don't end up getting screwed over like myself.

I got $35 a piece for mine, just had to cut them out of the y-pipe, pack em in a box with newspapers, and ship them to the recycling joint, who then sent me a check for $70

I think GM charges $50 a pop for core charge. Scrap guy that would come by paid $100/pair with complete y-pipe.
