Question What to do with a discarded stock muffler

So, I recently had a Magnaflow muffler welded in place of my stock muffler on my 2005 ECSB 2wd 5.3. Now, I have this gigantic stock muffler to do something with.

Are these worth anything? If so, could I sell it on here...and for about how much? Would a scrap yard buy these things?

The muffler is in great structural shape, but has about 95,000 miles on it.

x2, you get more for an unmodified vehicle so put it back on before trading it in in the future.

Turn it into a big exhaust tip. Cut out the back of the muffler and remove all the baffles inside.

2X-Shoot that thing up real good and then take it to the scrap place and make a few bucks on it.

I never sell vehicles, and will only trade them if they are near irreversible death. Every vehicle I have ever owned (4 now, counting this truck) I have driven until the wheels (literally) were ready to fall off. I plan on keeping this truck for a LONG time. I'd rather enjoy the extra space in my garage versus saving $50 on a trade 10 years from now.
