Save The Stock Exhaust? $$
Getting ready to cut the old stock exhaust off. I have time today to put the new system on is the old exhaust worth anything? Sould I feel bad about cutting the old one off? I think the new sound will make me feel better..

I tossed the stock mufflers and manifolds...some people keep them just in case..I had no where to store them #1 and #2 had no intention of going back to stock...some people sell them..but I figured that would be a PITA to pack and ship so.....

Not necessary to cut.Consider them to be as valuable as whatever you are replacing them with, as if you sell the car the aftermarket exhaust is worth no more and probably less than the stock system....

I kept mine and glad I did. I could not stand the Borla drone at highway speeds of 70-80 (6 speed) which is where most highway speed is. Arround town they were great sounding but I opted to put my stock system back on. Eventually I purchased a Magnaflow Cat back system which isn't as nice sounding in local driving but much better in hwy driving.

I think the guy that did my install recycled them, I thought about reselli, but I did not want the hassle, plus I didn't ever want to see that inferior setup again!
