The car is currently 2840 lbs, hopefully I can reach 2800 before I run out of money and ideas, lol.

what all have you done? thats impressive!

Don't know if its the lightest, but the Greddy Titanium is freakishly light...and expensive...and it damages easily if you shoot rocks at it.

The titanium exhaust is light, available cat back only and I'm not even sure it's still being produced.

The lightest exhaust, turbo back available is our 3" for reference, 23 pounds total, that's 37 pounds LIGHTER than stock.

I've relocated weight lower and towards the center of the vehicle to reduce the yaw and lower the c.g. at the same time.

I made a lightweight o2 housing...I'll have to weigh the factory piece and then mine.

Girodisc 2-piece rotors and RPF1's are my next weight saving mods
