Default Installed Milltek exhaust, what to do with stock exhaust system?

For those who have installed an aftermarket exhaust system, just curious what you've done with the stock exhaust--keep it, take to dump, cut it down for easier storage?? I didn't realize how big it was until the car was up on the lift. Storing this beast might be a problem, thinking about carefully cutting it into 2 sections so it could be reinstalled if I ever decide to sell.

It's just sitting upright in my garage and acting as a ladder holder.

Default Re: leave it at the shop.

i've learned to keep stuff if at all possible. never know when you might sell the car and want to sell the milltek off for extra cash.

Take it home in one piece. You'll regret trashing it later, trust me. Seen this 1000 times.

Keep it and don't get rid of it. I stored mine outside and it was fine.

Default on my 3.0 i had it cut (three pieces, like the aftermarket systems). with my s4 it's still all one

piece.

for what it's worth, the exhast shop had no problem welding my old system back together when I re-installed.

only reason i didn't cut the s4 system is because I did the install myself and just don't have anything available to cut it.

luckily i have a ton of storage under the house
