Default What to do with OEM exhaust?

Installed the JOE Z setup, what do most of you do with the factory setup, save it just in case? Toss it?

SAVE... SAVE... SAVE....

Mine is stored above my garage

Never know when you'll need it again.

Save it or sell it.

Many people put it back on when trading in or selling their cars. You'll get more selling the JoeZ exhaust separately if you and your F part ways.

yea, save it, it goes back on really easy, and you'll want to do that before you sell it.

I saved mine in the garage just in case. I've said I'll never sell my car, but in case I need to swap back to the stock exhaust for any reason, it's there and ready.

I just had a quick question about the joe z exhaust. I didn't want to start a thread just for it. I understand that it deletes one of the cats on the car, but will the car still smog with the joe z exhaust?
As for the OP, I would suggest keeping the stock exhaust. I save all the stock parts on my cars when I mod it just in case for down the road.

Sell or keep it but don't toss it away!

I believe the Joe Z will pass smog, may not pass visual test but you just need to go to the right smog places.
