Default What to do with stock catback when removed?

So I should be getting my catback sometime next week or so, what should I do with my stock when it is off? I know I wouldn't be able to sell it for anything that would make it worth the trouble of shipping it. I could save it and swap them back when I am able to afford a Cobra , but I don't know if I want the dang thing sitting around taking up space that long. I'm wondering if the dumpster isn't an awful option.

What do ya'll do with yours?

Some of the V6 guys might want to buy it for a dual conversion.

Keep it just incase you get pulled over and the officer tells you that your exhaust is too loud and you have 30 days to fix it. "Defective Exhaust"

I had to cut mine to get it over the axle.

cut it and in the garbage it goes. If you want to keep it it is going to be a pain in the *** getting it out one piece.

Thats kinda what I was thinking. I'll post on my local mustang forum and see if any V6ers want it, if not, its garbage.

Also, even if the shop cuts it once, its still repairable, so what is the huge issue with that? As a matter of fact the catback that I just bought was cut above the axle...I'm gonna have a shop install anyway so they can re-weld it...
