The exhaust system of my 94 2.3l ranger is completely shot. The down pipe banjo bolts are one solid piece of rusted metal with the manifold flange and I had to cut the bolts to get it separated. I think I can save the manifold by drilling out the bolt holes in the manifold flange but the rest of it is full of rot including the cat converter. I called around to a few scrapyards and they wont sell exhaust pipes because they either get crushed by the lift or its against regulations to resell cat converters. I'm trying to keep this truck as low budget as possible and I would rather not spend 100$ on pipes and another 100$ on a new cat converter. What's the cheapest option to replace everything? Are exhaust pipes not commonly re-used? Thanks in advance!
