exhaust

Is there a market for used exhaust? I'm planning on installing a header back Milltek system and wondering if it would be worth keeping the dealer installed JCW kit exhaust for second hand sale or trash it.

I have a JCW exhaust on my car.....and have always thought about upgrading to a slightly louder aftermarket exhaust. If I ever do, I'm going to keep the JCW exhaust.....might sell it, know knows.

Just keep in mind.....I've always heard that the JCW exhaust makes just as much power as any of the aftermarket exhausts.....and you won't have any of that annoying droning. Just something to think about.

I had a JCW exhaust on my first two R53s and have a Milltek on my current MINI. The sound difference is negligible and any power differences cannot be detected by the "butt dyno." I'd save my money and just buy the header.

Well, I already have it so there's no saving money.
