Quick question that i cant find...how much does the stock exhaust weigh???

 

David, i think i have seen that the factory exhaust weighs 49 pounds. Im not sure about that.

anyone else know off hand?

 

no idea but stock parts are hella heavy! i changed my cats on friday and i compared the weights of the fast intentions metallic cats and the stock cats (just by lifting them) and the stock cats are so freakin heavy!

 

Yeah i just order stillen test pipes...hopefully that will cut down on some weight as well...just hoping it doesnt sound like sh*t......

 

are they resonated?

 

damn you
now your really goin to start pullin on me at the end of the track
****
you are goin to make me go spend money i dont have sean
thanks alot

 

HAHA...we just owned davids thread, but i guess its ok because i answered his question.

EDIT: Dan, will you have time to come down and help me get put them on before the track not this week but next week?

 

I just shipped one 2 weeks ago, if you are asking for coupe's exhuast system then here is the list.

Y pipe = 15lb, Mid pipe = 10 lb and the muffler is 45lb.

 

It's a while ago now, but I seem to remember the stock Coupe exhaust was in the 60lb range and the Borla replacement was in the 50lb range. (cat back)

anyone know how much the HKS hi power exhaust weighs?

 

I weighed my HKS Hi-Power Ti at 54 lbs. before it was installed.

 

Glad you mentioned it. I've kept that system in the back of my mind as a future mod mainly for the weight savings. I thought it would be lighter and offer more than a 5-15 pound loss.

 

good info

 

What is the difference in Test pipes and the stock exhaust? And why does it seem to sound a lot worse?

 

Test pipes replace your cats....not your whole exhaust.

You have your headers that connect to the engine then your cats that connect from your headers to your y-pipe and then everything goes back to your muffler. Test pipes simpy remove the filter thingy in the middle of the cat and allow the exhaust to flow faster. Your cats also eliminate alot of exhaust sound and with test pipes replacing your cats the sound comes back.
