Stock exhaust. What to do with it?

[natea]

I just swapped out my stock exhaust with a race MBRP (sounds freakin awesome), but was wondering what to do with my stock exhaust. Keep it, toss it, try to sell it? I really don't want to just throw it away, but that thing is huge and takes up a lot of space and I really don't think anyone needs a stock exhaust for a 15 yet. What do you guys recommend?

Toss it for sale online. If you can't sell it by the time you need the space, take it to a scrap yard for a few dollars.

If you can't keep it take it to a scrap yard.

keep it somewhere bro. its worth more than your mbrp, especially when you go to sell the car in 5 years

its worth more than your mbrp

No, it's not.

I am going to try and keep mine. Indeed, if you do sell the car in the future, it's preferred to put the stock parts back on and sell the mods separately.

 

[phrenetiK]

No, it's not.

mbrp aluminized from beefcake = $520 shipped
new stock catback from ford - $630~ + shipping

so if you want to get technical, it is depending which version you get of the mbrp. but a car with no mods that looks clean, will sell for more than a slightly modified car 95% of the time.

Having exhaust, intake, etc. will just show the buyer you cared about that stuff and probably drove the shit out of the car. A lot more than a grandpa with a 100% stock GT car that just let ford do all scheduled maintenance.

lol no one is putting a worth of 630 for a stock exhaust.

sold mine for $40 picked up.

if i need to swap back to stock i'll buy for $40. there are tons of people taking that pile of junk off their cars.

please try to quit being so hard headed. you're wrong, it's done, no more to discuss. a car with an mbrp catback will be worth less to 95% of buyers compared to a stock exhaust. simple as that. but a stock exhaust is worth keeping. hell, throw it in your attic you wont need it for a few years.

Exactly.

It's funny. The guys trying to sell performance pack wheels for $2k because the replacement cost from the dealer is $3000 or some dumb number, all of a sudden don't see the value in a factory cat back!!!!!

Odd to say the least

Store it for when you decide to sell/trade the car later. People are much more likely to buy a stock car than a modified one. Keep all your stock parts, then when you change cars later remove the aftermarket ones and sell them to finance the mods to the new ride.

I learned to do this a long time back.

 

[rio16]

ask yourself if you would pay 600 dollars for "STOCK" Cat back... lmao... SMH

if you decide to store it.. better wrap it good before rust starts to build... learned it the hard way before... if its the stock catback i would sell it.. and if you decide to sell your car then the new catback you have adds value...

if it was rims, headers, CAI those i would save the stock ones... youll need those later on..
