Have mine in big black garbage bags tied up in the shed out back. Looks like storage for dead bodies

I always keep every stock part. Makes it so easy to swap back to stock! I just box up the parts and put in shed, attic or crawl space. Hate storing stuff in garage!

Exhaust parts are among the few things I don't save. But those are almost never in good enough condition for anything except curbside scrap metal pickup by guys running a side business in the stuff.

I kept the stock exhaust and will put it back on before I sell. Someday. Folks don't seem to like to buy modified cars. I doubt I will be able to resell the MBRP by that time.

Yeah selling car completely stock is the way to go! I wouldn't want to buy a used car with any mods done to it personally.

I used to hang on to old car parts way too long, usually piling them up in the garage or tossing them under the deck if I ran out of space inside. It seemed like a good idea in case I ever wanted to swap back to stock, but honestly, most of the stuff just ended up taking over my storage. After a while, I started just getting rid of bulky things that were never going back on the car, like bent control arms or rusty exhausts, nobody really wants to buy those secondhand.

Getting rid of bigger parts used to be a pain until I found out you could call in local scrap removal services that handle all the heavy lifting. The last time I needed to clear out a pile of random metal, I just booked a pickup with a hamitlon scrapper around here, and it was way simpler than dealing with it myself.
