Should I keep the old exhuast after my new one is on?

 

unless you can sell it, i would keep it(if you have extra hideable place to place it in) just in case somethin unexpected happens and you need to replace your exhaust or you have some serious warrenty issue and you dont want to take chances with the dealership as writing your claim off as an aftermarket part junkie related problem...

 

Thanks. The only problem is that I don't have the room to keep the old exhaust, but I talked to my service guy at the dealership and he said there is no problem with putting on an aftermarket exhaust.

 

Get it in writing, or it doesn't mean anything.

 

good point.

 

My exhaust is in the shed.

 

Selling or trading in is easier with OEM parts. Quality is guaranteed and no signs of possible "abuse"
I guess it depends on how much the next owner wants the aftermarket part. If they don't want it, then they may actaully deduct value because it is there.

 

I live in a condo, so I don't have a shed and I don't have that much room in my garage.

 

Sounds like you've anawsered your own question... unless you have a friend or relative with storage space.

 

I might hang it on the wall

 

It's a bit heavy, unless you've got some beefy hooks. Like, 70 lbs. "heavy." Make sure you've got a secure mounting point if you go that route.

 

Just an option, I might do something else.

 

i wanted to sell my oem exhaust after getting my FI put on...but i just threw all the parts into a compartment in my closet...sorta like a hiding space...anyhow, i dunno who would actually buy a used OEM exhaust anyway lol...if someone's exhaust is screwed i'm guessing the whole car is pretty much done...good luck on selling the exhaust...i think the stock catalytic converters are still worth a good amount though at any exhaust shop
