75 is good for a used one, yah. i paid around that for mine.
Hack: don't forget, you have a 4eye. The exhaust setup is totally different.

is it catted or O/R... if its off road it should be in one piece unless he cut it... most all H pipes ive seen that are off roas are one piece... catted ones i ahve seen in to pieces.... depends on its its for shortys or long tube headers too.... just find out what brand it is then search on line and find it see if they look the same... also check for ne rust stops.... if its really rusty and nasty its not worth nething cuz u coudlnt even sell it as scrap metal... its its pretty good shape 75 buts is a hell of a deal on a shorty catted mid pipe.... for a lt O/R midpipe is about half prices of a new one

my pipe is a BBK and it comes like that. it makes it TONS easier to get each one lined up the right way. when you install them, try to use ramps instead of jacks. these cars are notorious for header leaks at the flange with the h-pipe because of improper install. make sure you get the pipe up high, don't let the back end hang down when you tighten the bolts.
