Any reason to keep the OEM air intake?

I installed the GM performance intake and now have the original intake as a spare. Any reason to keep it? I kinda hate to just throw it out, but then again I don't think I'll ever have a use for it and I don't think it is worth anything.

If you should decide to sell or trade it, you may want to revert back to OEM.

If you had the GM flash applied to the car after installing the GMPP intake then you'll need to flash it back to install the factory air box.

I assume so, which means I'll never do it. I can't imagine the scenario where I'd want to flash back and reinstall the original intake. I guess you never know, but it seems like I'm keeping this thing around for no reason.

Anyone want to buy a spare V6 intake? I'll make a great deal!
