Default Old Stck Exhaust

Following header install, should I hang on to it or sell it? If I sell it what are a set of 98 stock manifolds and H pipe worth? thanks

That only works for a while. I hear that EG had damn near an entire C5 on his walls before the weight collapsed the building.

Not much value in them unless you can find someone that wants to return the car to stock as a result of demodding.

I probably should get rid of the stock exhaust that I have in my garage from my Cobra. I don't think I'll use after 8 years.

I think you've found a market for all those old parts. That's very cool!

Save it. Move it around the garage for a couple of years. Trip over it occassionally. Listen to the S.O. complain about it some and then finally throw it out 6 years down the road.

Consider the fact that some people will only buy a modded car if it comes with the original parts to put it back to stock or offer less because of it. In other words, shrink your buyer pool if you ever decide to sell your car, lose the cost of your mod, lose market value for a modded car or possibly all of the above. JMO.
