What to do with original exhuast
Waiting for my mpe to arrive. Just wondering how would I deal with the original m2 exhaust. Seems a waste to throw it away, but definitely too big to keep it around. Any suggestions?

I always keep the stock parts.
I find you get a better price on the parts than letting it go with the car. A car with an Akra won't get as much of a premium as a car plus selling the Akra privately. If space is an issue then it's probably not worth the hassle. |

This exactly! I traded in my m235 and made $5,000 from my aftermarket parts which is now my down payment on the M2

When I sold my STi to carmax, they told me to keep the mods on as that wouldn't change their offer in any meaningful way. It would have been a far bigger hassle to return to stock since it wasn't just a bolt on or two. However if you have the desire, you will always get more money from selling your aftermarket parts separately. But if you don't do your own car work, that could be an expensive proposition. |

It's taking dust. I never heard it. 8 km (5 mi) life and already retired...
New owners often want the original parts too (eventually to sell them on). If the MPE ever gets damaged (hopefully not), you can still slap on the original exhaust.

Sell it if you can. I have never re-installed the stock exhaust on any of my cars.

I'll buy an original exhaust from anyone in SoCal area for $200. I want to experiment on it. Open up the muffler and do a exhaust mod and see how it sounds.
