What should i do with my factory intake?

I recently got a cold an AEM cold air intake for my tc, and now i've got the factory intake sitting around. Think anyone would buy it? Or should i just ditch it? Can't find anyone else selling the manufacturer's intake online...

Put it in the closet somewhere. You never know if you might need it or someone might post that they need a part from one.

Ok ok.. I'm a pack rat.. SO!

Keep it. Who knows if a car will pull out and T-bone you tomorrow. Then you just remove AEm (if not destroyed) and sell or put on replacement car. But they will want an intake, so give them the stock one. Get it towed to your house for ease or disassembly.

Hang on to it, I was able to sell mine to someone (take that, naysayers!)

They wanted to hack it apart to custom-make their own intake box.
