IMO, when modding a new car, you should keep your stock parts. god forbid you have an issue that should be covered under warranty, its a good idea to return the car back to stock. and as mentioned before, if u go to trade it in, i believe its always worth more when its in its OEM form...

Sounds like just about everyone is saying to keep them, but for those of us that want to sell (ours are never going back to stock) is there a good place to sell them? I've got a stock exhaust (2013 GSR) and a downpipe with extra bung welded in (2008 GSR). Anyone scrap theirs? If so, how much did you get?

My car is too high of a mileage and too old (and driven) for it to be worth anything in stock form (especially after this winter's build) So I sold my catback for $150. I know I'll never be putting that thing back on. Haven't missed it since.

If you know how to weld, chop it into a few pieces and weld V-band flanges onto it to make it more compact for storage. This is what I did for my 8. The exhaust is very compact to store now, and is easy to throw on for smog purposes.

I usually keep the stock major parts as well but if you plan on keeping the car forever, in which most people don't, then you could sell them. When I rebuilt my 1998 GSX I sold or scrapped out the parts that I replaced since I'll never get rid of the car or want to go back to stock form.
