Keep them. I de-modded my bike a few weeks ago. It was nice to be able to put it back to stock without having to buy anything.

I kept my stock exhaust. Mainly because I liked the look if I were to want to go back to the "chrome-ish" look, and it's cheaper to replace the baffles than buy new pipes...but, who'd want to keep them stock? Stock, I can barely hear the engine running...guess it makes for good "quiet" rides...

Keep it all. You never know. If you have any luck like mine, you will have to buy one of those stock parts and it will cost more than you want to pay. More so if it's a hard to get part.

Keep the stock pipes. You never know, one day you may need to switch out to go get an inspection sticker like us here in Mass.

Wondering if it would be wise to keep the stock pipes in case some kinda crazy idea becomes law in the future?

2010 on there is a Catalytic converter in the muffler or the headpipe, depends on which model! That is a very expesive pipe to replace if they ever start sniffing exhaust!

CVO's and Cali models also, if you got the storage space, I'd keep um!
