As for the driveshaft, I'm not aware of any one made for the sedan.
There have been many good ideas on here.
If you want to pull out the back seat, go for it. You know the negatives so go ahead. The fuel pump is not that loud. I have a Walbro 255 and have driven around without the back seat many times. With the extra road and exhaust noise I don't notice the pump much.
The mid-pipe swap is a great idea. Even a full Borla weighs a lot less than the oem exhaust.
Light forged wheels will help a lot but are not cheap. A good set of Volk TE37's are my fav.
A BBK upgrade with AL calipers will help. Again it will cost you but you will get many performance gains from them. My 332mm RB kit weighs a lot less than the smaller oem brakes.
Take off your cats and get a set of test pipes. Your car will be louder and raspy but you will drop at least 15lbs.

Plus removing 100lbs only nets maybe a .10 in the 1/4 mile, not even close to being worth it.

You might aswell remove your rear doors and seal them up with aluminum sheets and plastic windows, but after all said and done, you're car isn't any better than the civic that beat you 2 nights ago.
