Default Decision - keep standard exhaust or not

Hi guys

neediing some advice what to do as in two minds here.
i currently have a japspeed decat system on my 1997 sti v3- think it is a 3” system with 4.5” angles tail. It is loud and seems decent quality.
in dry storage I have the full original system and I don’t know whether to sell it or not.
My car has an esl board and runs 314bhp- mapped to the new exhaust.
i have thought about putting standard exhaust back (back box only) on but I presume this would require some felttling to get a 2.5 “ back back to fit the 3” middle pipe?
I am trying to restore the car back to original condition but not sure if I actually want the original exhaust back on or even kept.
The exhaust pieces are on eBay and I am not sure what to do.

Judt looking for some some opinions please on what to do.

I judt dont want to regret selling in 12 months and not be able to source a standard exhaust.
At the same time we’ll be all the exhaust bits could pay towards a wheel refurb.

Keep the exhaust as it'll only go for peanuts and you might regret it then do the refurb yourself. I've painted countless wheels in my shed and they turn out perfect if you make the effort with good prep

I have done wheel refurbs myself in past but I am scared to jack this car up on the sills!!
She is an old girl and do not want to damage her.

Where is the safest jacking points?

Hi mate, centre section is the only piece which is not in great condition. It has a couple of rust holes which would require patching
