I have a 2011 4 cylinder Tribute. I Bought a 2008 V6 for parts. This morning my exhaust on the 2011 broke just before the resonator. My question is can I just swap the exhaust from the cat back on the 2008 to the 2011? This is where is broke on the 2011.

I found any simple Metal Polish will work wonders. Its slightly gritty, and does the job perfectly. It's all i've ever used on headlights and a single bottle (will last multiple uses) is only like 8-10 bucks. Don't waste money on a resto kit.
