Following my H&S exhaust fitting I've got the stock backboxes from my E61 M5 in the shed and am trying to work out what to do with them. Do I keep them to refit at resale time or do I stick them up in the classifieds? Any value in them do you think?

If you've got the space to store them, I'd keep them and refit when you come to sell.

I doubt they'll add any value to the car and may even put people off.

When I had my H&S fitted, I kept the original ones in the garage for a few months, but in the end, they went to the skip... I will never go back to standard smile

When you come to sell put the standard ones back on and try and get a few quid by selling the H&S boxes.
To be honest i cant see anyone wanting to buy the standard system unless for some reason they have a problem with theirs and just want to replace with OE.

Yeah, that was my thought guys. I think at resale time at least if I have the OEMs handy I can give people a choice.
