What do you do with the stock parts you've replaced?
 

This is the first car I've modded since living in an apartment. I'm finding myself with a growing collection of random stock car parts.

I'm going to start replacing parts of the stock exhaust and I'm tempted to just throw the stock pieces away, but it seems like a waste.

What have you guys done with your stock piping, having no intention of going back to stock for many years at least?

Clean it up and mount it on a nice slab of polished wood. Then hang it on the wall as art.

Spray them down with wd40 and hold onto them jic I have some warranty issues

Keep in case you damage your exhaust or change directions with car (boost, bigger exhaust, etc.) or just sell them. Some people like to have extra incase of damages down the road

All my stuff is just setting on shelves in the garage.

your fr-s will be worth more with stock parts when you sell it.

Holding on to all stock parts for when/if I end up selling the car.

I 2nd all the above notions lol. On a similar note I still have all my aftermarket parts from when I traded out of my 09 XB.

Keep them. Why? You never know what will happen down the line. If you do sell the car or trade it in, you will get nothing extra for the "performance" parts. Plus they might not want the car if its modded to much. Toss the stock parts on and sell the "performance" parts cheap for some extra cash. I did most of this with my last car and made well over $1000 back, but I accidentally tossed out my stock exhaust manifold and had to leave my ceramic coated tubular turbo manifold on the car for the dealer. I could of made a few hundred off that. That's just one of the many reasons why as well as those already stated above.

If you have room to keep them, keep them. If not, try to sell things off. If you replace the front pipe, the stock one (the cat specifically) will be worth a fair amount.

Sell them all to make aftermarket parts cheaper. It won't affect value on the car. I plan on driving mine till death.

STOCK PARTS MUST BE OFFERED TO THE IMPORT GODS

^as a sacrafice to keep the 'crickets' away. :lol:

Why spread lies?
