    Hi
    I got my car about 2 years ago and it came with several taken off parts.
    The previous owners were passing it to each other.

    Now the original headers will be coming off as well (were welded once but likely OK).
    Original muffler, cats and some straight pipes as well as the red painted (original factory) matching rear grille (the car has the challenge style on).

    Are these worth keeping and would these perhaps add to the value of the car in the future?
    Perhaps better to sell them - if they are worth anything - except the rear grille (I want to keep that one)?
    Thanks for any insight in advance.

    If I were you I’d keep them. They definitely have value and you may need the original muffler some day in case the regulations where you live change for noise compliance.

    I just moved to a new country and am very glad I kept the factory muffler. It was the only way to pass the inspection and get the car registered here.

    also, there are perspective owners that like and prefer the car to be totally original or at least have access to the original parts.

    I always keep everything.

    There may come a time where you will need them...and if there is a buyer who is looking for a concourse type project, it will be a big help in selling the car if all the original parts come with it.
