This^^^It's really personal preference. Do you think you might ever want to go back to stock again in the future? I kept mine intact and have it stored in the basement just in case I ever decide I want to go back to stock again. I may get a travel trailer in the future, so my AWE might end up being annoying on long tows. Or maybe I might end up selling the truck in a few years and decide to put the stock exhaust on and sell my AWE since after market exhaust will sell more than a stock exhaust would.
I bought a take off oem dual exhaust.
people pay $50 to $500.
i paid $50 and drove 60 min round trip
