Old stock exhaust
I just finished installing the borla td exhaust. It's nice, a little quite and made all sorts of noices until I grinded a whole to make more room for one of the poorly designed aftermarket hangers, but all in all I like it. It's kind of loud when you want it to be the twin resonators plus muffler keep the noice down though. Definitly no anoying honda drown at highway speeds. My question is what should i do with the stock exhaust? The borla has a million mile warrenty so their is no reason to keep the stock system right? Can I sell it some where? Any help is useful, thanks

Keep the stock exhaust if you ever have to take in for engine problems or any major warranty work you will have to put it back on, before you take it back in.

They consider it a mod, so yes, it will void your warranty. I was racing a friend with 2003 M3, with my 1997 eclipse, not the Z and he blew his engine, actually snap a rod. My other friend stayed up all night putting his stock exhaust back on. The first thing that comes to mind if you bring in a car with a blown engine and an after market exhaust is that you were drag racing.

it won't void your warranty unless your dealer is a complete *****, in which case take it somewhere else.
regardless of where you take it, it will only void your warranty if they can prove that the exhaust is what caused your engine/tranny/whatever else to die.
put that **** up for sale pronto.

Keep it. If you ever end up selling your car. You can put the stock exhaust back on and sell your aftermarket exhaust and make extra money. Keeping the aftermarket exhaust will add no value to your car.
