Value of a Stillen catback exhaust?
I'm about to part ways with my '99 Maxima, and it has an original Stillen catback exhaust on it. I bought it in mint condition many many years ago for around $600 IIRC. Wondering if these rare Stillen exhausts still command a premium, in which case I'd have it taken off the car to sell it separately. Or has it lost its value over the years and isn't worth the hassle (I'd have to pay for a basic catback replacement)? I searched the FS section, but didn't see any recent listings (4+ hrs) for Stillen exhausts in the 4th Gen FS section. Any advice would be appreciated.
TIA!

Car is already spoken for. They have no particular in the exhaust (whether included or not). So I'm just trying to gauge if it's worth removing to sell (and to replace with a basic catback muffler) if it still holds decent value.

Take it off and List it for sale, esp if the next Owner has no Interest. Its worth a Few Bills depending on condition. A cheap exhaust can be found on amazon or ebay even for under 200 that bolts right up. It will sell quickly.

Sell it for how much? Seriously?
Where has it been? Salt and snow?
Then spending how much to replace it and the labor? To net how much?
Are things that tight so much work for a few bucks the hard way are even worth it?
I don't get it/ It owes you nothing! Exhaust work always sucks and rarely what gets removed is in sell able shape. Have you even gotten under the car and evaluated what you really have to work with?

Their B pipe is un resonated, made of 2 pieces clamped together which is hard to separate, and rather small at 2.25". Might not be worth it.
The muffler could be removed much easier and there is always some guy wanting a shiny fart pipe.

I strongly disagree. Not raspy at all; in fact, it's got a beautiful low throaty tone, definitely noticeable, but not over the top, too loud, raspy, or with an annoying drone. So much so, it's been on this Maxima, which has been my mom's daily driver, for nearly a decade.

Yes...if something sounds nice or not is subjective. But I don't think anyone would consider this exhaust raspy at all. Having said that, this is on the OEM Y-pipe. Just the catback is aftermarket.

Unequal length Y's sound like garbage no matter what.

My Warpspeed Y is coming out and my OE Y/mid-pipe is going back in.
Not only has the sound worn on me, the performance, for my driving style, isn’t what it was with the OE mid-pipe in place.
