Default Is there any reason to keep my stock exhaust?

I just got the PPE, Borla combo installed and I will be storing the stock headers. Is there any reason to store the stock exhaust? Thanks.

Keep it in case you sell your car

Resale value is higher when the car has OEM parts on it. Dealers will likely offer you more $$ for trade in if the car has OEM parts instead of aftermarket.

there are a few reasons:

1.) when you need to sell your car
2.) when you have to get smog/ticket and can't find a friendly check place
3.) car accident, need to switch out exhaust asap
4.) if a friend needs it for any of the above reasons

Much agreed with the previous posts. Though it takes up a little space in a garage, if for whatever reason you might need it, it will be there.
