Default Value of standard exhaust

I have a MY 2009 C4S with Sport Chrono and am thinking of installing a PSE at the dealer. Car has 13000 miles at present. So the question is, should I ask the dealer to return the standard exhaust, does it have any resale value. If the dealer were to return the standard exhaust, it would likely still be missing small items like screws etc needed to fit it.

I've seen them on Ebay and here going for anywhere betwee $200 and $400. A lot of people want the 997 S exhaust to do the gundo hack and install on their car.

If $200 is worth the effort to sell/ship the exhaust then it would be worthwhile.

I kept my stock system. Not because I planned on selling it but so I can put it back on the car and keep my Tubi when I sell/trade it. Not sure that's a worthwhile effort with the PSE though considering the wiring and such that goes into the install.

By all means keep the cans and tips, they are worth between $300-$700 on eBay. I believe i got $300 for cans and $400 for tips ( from 2011 Cab) there. Place them as a Buy-it-now auction and wait, it took me about 5-6 weeks, but got my asking prices. Worst case is if you can't sell them on eBay, they are worth about $100 at junk dealers for their precious metal content.

When I added Tubi, I sold the cans for $250.
Shipped them direct to CA for the buyer to get them hacked.
I reused my tips, so don't know their value.
I was happy to get rid of it, as they are rather bulky.

I added the full PSE to my '10 4S and sold my stock tips for about $200 and the mufflers for $400 if I recall correctly. Kind of helped cut the cost of the PSE system a bit. For me, the stock S exhaust is never going back on the car so I figured might as well sell it so someone else can benefit.

Why would you get the stock PSE instead of something after-market that will give you a boost in HP and the sound? Just wondering.
