Should I keep my OEM exhaust parts?

Hi, I'm changing out my stock headers, cats, pipes, manifold etc for the new fabspeed set. Should I keep the old set around or sell it? The oem system has 37K miles on it.

Cheers,
Randy

The only reason I would consider keeping is in case you wanted to convert back to stock before selling. I cant imagine you are ever going to want to go back to stock and the Fabspeed is good for life. IMO sell to off set the cost of the new exhaust.

PS extremely jealous

i would hold onto them for resale, no matter how good the aftermarket exhaust i would likely rather buy a car that still has the stock with it, despite not being installed.

Thanks. Yes I was thinking a bit about resell good point @bigjake11 What if the buyer wanted the old ones (quieter). Although it's hard to imagine. Guess I'm still on the fence. Keeping means I'm going to have the stuff in the garage taking up space also. @carlisbadman986 ... :-) thanks, the fabspeed is pricey and I've been on the fence for a long time. Finally got a little extra $ to spend. The wife would have preferred an upgraded stereo :-)

My stock exhaust is sitting in the attic just in case. I would rather keep the original parts that came with the car. That's just me. I will be curious as to your thoughts on the Fab Speed exhaust
