   Just curious - why do you want to replace the aftermarket system?
It should give you improved sound, power, and fuel economy over a
stock system, and at a much cheaper price too. (Purchasing new
exhaust components from a dealer is extremely expensive!)

  As far as the value, it probably doesn't have a lot. You might
be able to find somebody to give you $20 for the whole lot, but
used exhaust components generally don't have much value.
