I bet for the right price you would let them go...So if someone offered you $1000, would you sell them ?

I’m in the same position as you. My Ti exhaust was pulled off at 3k miles and the Corsa’s were installed. Mine are hanging in the basement (rafters) in case I ever plan on reverting back to completely OEM Z06. All I need is a set of NOS/OEM floor mats if I go back to 100% original.

I have Corsa's on mine, and it came with them, and I know I'm never going to put the Ti on the car unles I end up going to a track and am told they are too loud. They just sound so awesome!

I'd bet that with only 3K miles on ya'll's Tis, you could easily get $600-800 the minute you put them up for sale....and if they are as clean as mine were or if you shined/detailed them up really nice someone would go a grand for them...
I know that if i needed another almost new Ti catbacks i would gladly pay $1K...but that's just me...when i get desperate ...i don't care how much something costs(within limits)and with the wifey's consent...
Don't even ask me about my fkn MCM hood..
Years ago i begged Evil-Twin to sell me his MCM hood...I offered to drive to his house...and yes i knew where he lived....with $10K cash....he told me to go **** myself...he was leaving his C5 with the MCM hood on it to his son.....I must have been nuts to offer him that much but i really wanted it...long story short...his son didn't even want his C5......and to this day, i know who has his C5 and MCM hood ....years later i finally found one after offering up a large amount of $...

I also offered someone else here on the forum(a friend of ETs/whom i refuse to mention his name, a lot of $$$ for his MCM hood and he also told me to go **** myself...a lot of people want me go go **** myself just over a damn car part...

Doesn’t appear to have over axel pipes, but for $250, you get the mufflers and tips

Geez, even without the shipping that’s more than I paid for a basically new set that even came with the original gaskets. At those prices mine must be worth at least 2 grand. 🤣

Well yeah those are straight pull-offs from a junkyard. I bet with some elbow grease they'd shine right up

They don’t rust, so it’s just oxidation. Polishing the tips would be interesting
