Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, I'm changing out my stock headers, cats, pipes, manifold etc for the new fabspeed set. Should I keep the old set around or sell it? The oem system has 37K miles on it. Cheers, Randy

POST 2Original post

The only reason I would consider keeping is in case you wanted to convert back to stock before selling. I cant imagine you are ever going to want to go back to stock and the Fabspeed is good for life. IMO sell to off set the cost of the new exhaust. PS extremely jealous

POST 3Original post

i would hold onto them for resale, no matter how good the aftermarket exhaust i would likely rather buy a car that still has the stock with it, despite not being installed.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks. Yes I was thinking a bit about resell good point @bigjake11 What if the buyer wanted the old ones (quieter). Although it's hard to imagine. Guess I'm still on the fence. Keeping means I'm going to have the stuff in the garage taking up space also. @carlisbadman986 ... :-) thanks, the fabspeed is pricey and I've been on the fence for a long time. Finally got a little extra $ to spend. The wife would have preferred an upgraded stereo :-)

POST 5Original post

My stock exhaust is sitting in the attic just in case. I would rather keep the original parts that came with the car. That's just me. I will be curious as to your thoughts on the Fab Speed exhaust

You did get an upgraded stereo

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Indeed, can't wait to hear it. I will let you all know how I like the new setup.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
