Default use for stock exhausts?

Any one ever come up with a use for stock exhaust take offs? I was thinking back in the day I could have made a chrome bong. seems they could be re purposed into something or if anybody wants them for free let me know. Last set I throw away but that seems wasteful. Off 2012 Heritage less 1000 miles just need a good cleaning. Or maybe a chrome bong for old times sake.

Yeah go with the bong idea, wrap those pretty lips around that big chrome end.

Our local Harley dealer sponsors a chili cook off every winter. They give out trophies made up of take-off mufflers with various scrap parts welded to them.

I'm keeping my stock pipes around, in case the EPA or local law enforcement decides to crack down. Basically, anything on the exhaust which is different from stock, without having been submitted to the EPA and passing their tests, is already illegal.

The best use I have come up with is to keep them on the bike. But I am working on a stereo system, so.............

Or if you get busted and have to take your bike in for an inspection, then you can take then back off again!

I just got rid of my stock 04 FXDL mufflers. I have been trying to get anything for them since 2004. Sold them last week for $5.00 at a garage sale and feel good about it.

I have them on the garage floor so I know how far to pull in with the car.
