Default keep old parts?

kooks headers and catted y-pipe being installed on wed and was wondering if i should keep my old parts. if i do what could i use them for, i dont think i would ever put them back on and would they even be worth selling? it would just be easier if i didnt have to load the dirty *** things in my nice clean car and haul them 2 hours down the road!

I would at least keep the stock catted ypipe together along with the o2's in it. You'd have no problems selling that to someone that has a clogged or shattered cat but has no plans on getting headers.

I have stock parts for many cars that I've owned and modified. Just never know when some of that stuff might be worth something to someone doing a restoration or returning to stock......hell, that "someone" might even be the future YOU.

I kept mine.. in 40 years my car will be worth more with all the stock parts than with all the aftermarket stuff.
