Default What to do with stock exhaust?

Hi all!
I am getting a NISMO exhaust, and I am not sure what to do with the stock one that comes out. How much worth is it? Keep it as a spare or sell it? I probably shouldn't just leave it at the dealer right?

Thanks!

I opted to keep mine, "Just in case". Everyone and their brother has an OEM exhaust sitting around, so they aren't worth much, and anyone who needed to replace their OEM exhaust is likely going to go aftermarket anyway.

I don't even have my Z anymore, but I still have that damn stock exhaust.

I'm not sure you can give them away at this point...but perhaps in 5-10years they'll become an item.

Until then....boat anchor?? Paper weight??? Lawn ornament?? Yeah...

I kept mine too in case I have to return it to stock.

On occasion, you will see people selling them in the Classified Forum in the $50 range. I've even seen a few people offer to give them away if you are willing to pick them up.

Thank goodness I have a big attic...from the custom truck I recently sold I still have:
oe hood
oe sport bumper(factory painted) with hitch
oe suspension(coils,giant leafs, sway bar, and shocks)
oe exhaust

all this was removed from a brand new truck so except for a little dust...these parst are like new. I just don't want to mess with trying to sell all this crap even though I need the room in the attic.

So far...from the z I've got the stock exhaust in a box out in the shed and the oe wheels/tires are in the attic.

I would have kept it in the car. It makes good horsepower if you hollow the y pipe cat.
