I dunno if its your money and your car. If it is, here's what you do (I say this because I had this exact same issue when I pulled off my stock system for the MBRP)
You just explain to your dad that while he may think its a "waste" to remove a perfectly fine & functional system, you want to make the car your own and you're doing it with your own money.
Parents forget that they too spent $ in their younger years on stuff that if they were honest, their parents didn't approve of either
My dad liked to tell the story of his car repair hobby while he was still living in Switzerland, he used to bring cars home in the dead of night, pushing them into the driveway to try and stealth their arrival so that his mother couldn't chew him out then & there :P
Though she caught him once and told him to get rid of a car he brought home, he was so pissed that he took a sledgehammer to the car right in front of her and beat the crap out of the car and then removed the car. What he was trying to prove to her with that stunt I dunno :huh:
