Those with new exhaust - what are you doing with your factory catback?

[Chef jpd]

Put them up for sale in the V6 and ecoboost for sale area of the forum.
Its a cheap performance upgrade for them, and you will make a few bucks and free up space.

I kept my 15’ GT Corsa Extremes when I put the stock exhaust back on and traded it. When I got my 18’ GT with active exhaust I put the Corsa double ‘X’ that I saved on the 18’ and it sounds perfect. If I ever sell or trade the 18’ I’ll take the double “X” off and put the resonator back on.

When the tech installing my MBRP Race cat-back asked if I wanted the OEM system I told him to keep it because it was never going back on the car. I don't keep garbage at my house.

Installed my catback, but gave the OEM one to the local muffler shop. Figured it will end up on some high school kids car (less the resonator)!

At least you can hope anyway. Not many of the younger generation into cars and hot rodding anymore.

Mine is gathering dust in the garage.

I am keeping my stock catback for the same reasons stated above: In case I sell I can put it back on and then sell the Borla. I hung my stock catback on the wall vertically in my garage. I have a pretty tall RV bay so there's plenty of room. My wife calls it my garage wall art.

AKA ........ vertical junk yard ?

Scrap dumpster at work, don't need it taking up space, just more clutter.

I put mine in my attic from previous cars. Just make sure it's on good 2x4s.

The next owner of your home is going to wonder what the hell was going on in the attic.

When I swapped out the exhaust on my 2017 GT, I cut the stock catback up. Kept the two pieces from behind the resonator to in front of the mufflers just in case someday I went with a H pipe and axle backs. I then took the rest to the dump. This thread reminds me, I still have the two pieces out in the shed, need to get rid of those since I traded the 2017 in.

Eventually, I will replace the exhaust on my 2020 GT. This time my plan is take the entire oem catback to the dump, won't keep any of it.

Ha! Essentially!

Considering there is a supercharger on the car, whoever buys it when I sell it will more than likely appreciate the aftermarket exhaust.

This pic reminds me of when I had my stock exhaust stashed in my shed. Kept it for 6 months before deciding it would never go back on the car. Posted it on Craiglist for $100. I sold it two days later to a guy who had recently bought used 16 GT with a crappy exhaust.

Selling for $100 (or cutting up and trashing in a week or two lol)

Dumpster along with the plastic engine and valve covers and sound tube assy

Before trading in my 15, I sold my Borla to someone willing to trade me his stock catback plus cash. So in the end I was happy I hadn't kept the stock exhaust in my garage.
