Do you keep your stock muffler

I will be putting on a new exhaust system in the very near future and was wondering if any of you guys keep your stock muffle? Is it right that we leave it with the muffler shop for them to turn around and sell it to someone else?

i think i left mine there. a stock muffler is pretty much worthless. all they will do is recycle it, not sell it to someone else.

I took mine home so it could sit in the garage for a year. I don't recommend this, it takes up a lot of room!

I left mine at the shop. I think it's the only part of my truck to just go to waste. That and maybe the stock intake, although that's sitting in a box somewhere.

Its not worth taking it back, though I took mine so my bud could put it in his dads GMC truck cause its exhaust rotted out & he was running about an open midpipe.

I'll probably leave it at the shop.
It's been stored up underneath my truck these last 11 years.

Or I'll also sell it to you cheap, in about another five years!

I think we should put mine and yours together and sell them as a package deal.

Mines is probably melted down into something useful now. Can't say the same about my old 40 series.

The shop who took mine out didn't even ask if I wanted to keep it nor did I ask for it, too much junk in the garage already. BTW anyone wanna used stock fan and fan shroud?
