What to do with V8V secondary decats once decatted?

[EVR]

I was looking on Scuderia Car Parts, secondary decats are going for a pretty penny.

In your experience, am I good in selling them, provided there is a market for them; originals might need replacement at some point in the car's life, maybe?

Or is it better to keep them to bring back the car to factory spec once for sale? I don't see myself coming back to stock honestly, but you never know about others.

Or am I missing something else completely here?

The fact that they are listed for sale does not mean they actually sell them often. I would think that anyone actually needing them due to failure is rare and if anyone wanted to put the exhaust back to standard would look for used ones anyway.

I have kept mine from a DB9 to offer to any prospective new owner but would happily sell them if anyone wanted them,.......but nobody does.

You will get peanuts for them used so I would just keep them to offer when selling the car, or even better, fit them before selling and sell the de-cat pipes which would be far easier to sell on.

Edo, keep them then put them back on when (and if) you sell this car and then sell the decat pipes on to the next lucky recipient (that's what I did for you )

Thanks to both of you, this is good advice.

Your decats Tim will get acquainted with so many different Vantages!
