Old exhaust - toss, keep or sell?

[DrWin]

So, in preparation for installing a stage 1 exhaust upgrade, I removed the exhaust system. I'm not sure how much is stock, I think the exhaust manifolds and the crossover pipe is original. The exhaust itself seems to include som stock-ish parts, welded together with some unoriginal parts, and now pretty rusted out.

So, what do I do with this? Is it all just worthless at this point? Is it worth holding on to?

Looks original except for the Flowmaster muffler. I see people selling original exhaust all the time but it's not worth much. I got rid of all my old exhaust but for some reason I kept the muffler.

First off, congratulations for getting the manifolds out, I loathed that job.

Next, does your car have to pass emissions tests where you live? I would check but looking at what you removed the Flowmaster muffler is not stock. OEM units are stainless steel so no rust to worry about. I do not know what else could use a muffler like that but it might be worth something to someone.

I'd list the manifolds and see if anyone is interested.

The crossover pipe is a tough one, seems wrong to throw it away but it seems to be the part most people are eager to take out and free up some space in the engine bay. I've had one sitting around for 9 years now.

The catalytic converter and the crossover pipe are made of stainless. The manifolds are cast iron. All three can be refurbed easily and inexpensively by bead blasting and painting with POR-15 High Temp. I would post them for sale in your area. It would be a shame to throw them away.
