What about the stock exhaust system? How much less could I expect a lightweight aftermarket catback to be?

Personally, most of the weight savings options listed aren't worth it if it sacrafices comfort. I bought the car because of its great features to begin with, not to have the fastest 1/4 mile time

10 lbs max.

I have an RRM Axle back/Cat back and the thing weighs 10 lbs less i am guessing, it is a good mod to get (better performance and sound) but not for weight savings only.

if you can find a titanium exhaust like JIC that only weighs 10-12 pounds or so, that would provide greater weight savings.

i removed the stock exhaust, so im just running the pipe all the way back(yea its prob illegal) but feels like there is a bit less weight on the back, not to mention the take off seems a bit quicker. not too much like oh damn its alot faster, but just picks up a tad bit more.

Not if he just removed the muffler.

The catalytic converters save the earth. The muffler makes it quiet.

yea thats true cause when the wheel spins it causes rotating mass and from what i heard it does wheigh alot when it spins there alot of math and Physics to calculate how much weight, but the weight of the tire does mater.
