Any value to old 986 exhaust, headers and cats?

I had FabSpeed install new race exhaust, headers and cats (along with cold air intake) on my 1998 986. Is there any value to the old parts?

Thank you,

I have NHP Decatted headers, Fabspeed secondary cat delete pipes and a Stebro Cup exhaust. I tried selling my old parts here on the forum but didn't have much luck.

Maybe post them up on ebay and let them go for whatever! Mine are just taking up space in my shed

I would believe there is some value to the first set of cats, that are integrated with the stock "headers", especially if the car is relatively low mile, when those go they are super expensive to replace with new factory parts. The rest of the parts have little value in my opinion.

Cost more to ship than they are worth. I replaced my secondary cats with Fabspeed bypass pipes and they went in the dumpster.

The muffler is probably worthless but I would put the cats on eBay. I replaced a defective pre-cat/header from eBay for $120 for one cat with two O2 sensors. I paid the shipping which wasn't that much and was very happy with my purchase. It could make you a couple of hundred and make someone happy to have saved a bundle! Anyway, it costs you nothing but 10 minutes of your time.

could be of great value if you car ever gets to a California owner. It would not pass smog
