    first pre cat anyone help me

    So i have been on a streak this week and picked up 4 cars the first one to strip is an 01 chevy blazer as my sister has one and my neighbor dose also. I sold the bumper and grill to a body shop let the neighbor have a key as were good buddys to pull what he wants. I loaded it on the trailer and cut the cat out and noticed there was a pre cat also so that came off this blazer is the newest vehical ive gotten and my first pre cat. Anyone chime in on a ball park price I know grading cats fairly well but have never had a pre cat before so maybe someone more experienced could lend a hand.

    The blazer was an 01 with the 4.3 vortec as they all have. It looked like a zr2 back swing tire rack, body lift, shields on everything under it, and zr2 al rims but did not code as a zr2 in the glove box the pre cat has a honeycomb exactly like the cat its about 6 inches long and about 4ish wide

    What is the number on the corner of the flange? should be like 8 digits. A lot of them can be looked up by the number to get the exact price but Focker is dead on with his range.

    Most buyers will try to buy it for $20-25.00 but with that number you should be able to get $40-50.00 for it depending on the buyer and the current markets.

    Myekem do you have a book with number listings? I have been looking for awhile and havent found much but the crazy expensive online catalogues that the average joe like myself who dose 10 to 12 cars a year cant justify spending alot on them?
