Screwing around in the garage the other day, lifting OEM exhaust pieces that I'm not sure why I saved and it got me thinking. We often talk about performance gains with exhaust mods but rarely mention weight savings. Has anyone ever taken the time to weigh any of the stock bits? Just one of my stock '90 exhaust manifolds feels like it weighs 40 pounds. I wonder how much weight I shaved from the car just by removing the entire OEM system and installing OBX headers and Corsa exhaust. Seems like it's gotta be 75-100 pounds net. Any thoughts?
