Title: Stock exhaust worth anything? Post by: Joe on April 02, 2009, 04:56:03 PM 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? Title: Re: Stock exhaust worth anything? Post by: Paegelow on April 02, 2009, 05:04:36 PM Good question. I have the same pile of parts laying around my house!

Title: Re: Stock exhaust worth anything? Post by: Buckethead on April 02, 2009, 05:14:10 PM 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.

Title: Re: Stock exhaust worth anything? Post by: Joe on April 02, 2009, 05:31:11 PM What bike?? Good question. 2007 S4Rs Only 600 mi. with original exhaust. Title: Re: Stock exhaust worth anything? Post by: Popeye the Sailor on April 02, 2009, 06:03:52 PM 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. Title: Re: Stock exhaust worth anything? Post by: EEL on April 02, 2009, 06:06:45 PM Core them and chop them and they suddenly get more valuable..

Title: Re: Stock exhaust worth anything? Post by: Statler on April 03, 2009, 05:17:33 AM 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. Title: Re: Stock exhaust worth anything? Post by: Mduc on April 03, 2009, 05:37:53 AM 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.
