Default stock muffler worth anything?

if no one is interested in putting the stock exhaust back on in my area then shouldnt it be worth something to other people? i remember reading stories about people's mufflers being stolen because of the platinum in the muffler thats worth something to the metal junkyards.

uhmm.. they really dont hold any value, but i guess for people who didn't decide to keep theirs and want to go back to stock...

yeah.. they'll need to get it off of someone... how much it's worth? ehh.. not much..

i heard nothing with regards to any platinum... that's the first i heard of it.

Platinum is used in the cat convertor and not in the muffler to my knowledge........If you have a modified exhaust now and stand any chance of being pulled over for it, I would keep the old exhaust as an insurance policy.
