Stock exhaust worth anything?

[Joe]

I put the full Termi kit on last year and the stock exhaust has been sitting in a box in my garage ever since. I doubt I'll ever use it.

Is it worth anything to anyone? Should I list it in the "parts for sale" board? or Should I trash it?

[Paegelow]

Good question.  I have the same pile of parts laying around my house!

What bike??

There are 2 schools of thought on this.

1) Sell it and at least recoup some of the money you spent on the Termis. They're going for $50-100 on eBay, so you're not going to make much back.

2) Keep them in a box. When (if) you sell the bike, you can take off the Termi set and put it back to stock. As a rule, you'll never make your money back on mods if they go with the bike. You'll be better off selling them separately.

Option 2 also comes in handy on the off chance that you wreck and the aftermarket exhaust is still intact. Some people have put the stock exhaust back on a wrecked bike that the insurance company is taking because its totaled.

I'm sure others will chime in with reasons for or against.

depends on who needs it for what. but dont expect much

If you ever get a "fix-it" ticket for the exhaust you're running, you'll be upset you don't have the stockers sitting in a box somewhere.



Same applies if they decide to implement emissions regs for bikes. I would keep it.

Core them and chop them and they suddenly get more valuable..

These 2 reasons are why I still have my stock 848 exhaust.

use it for a bad ass lawnmower or generator.

or send it to someone who crashes and needs replacements.     I sent most of my stock stuff to people in exchange for t-shirts from their local Duc shop.  They pay shipping and I get a cool shirt.

Not the best experience so if I send stuff now it's really to folks who have been around here for a while (one new guy haggled between 9.45 and just sending a tenner for shipping..wanted receipt etc.   I told him to not bother and keep the money...but I digress)

I figure keeping parts in the family so to speak will mean if I need a lever or a footpeg or something if I go down someone here will reciprocate.

I am looking for OEM cans for my 07 S2R1K. Mine are scratched up and would like to replace them untill I get something new, probably boomtubes. PM me if you want to get rid of stock cans that will go with my bike.
