Good question. The OEM mufflers are extremely heavy. I doubt that they would purposely make it heavier for weight distribution though. They do suppress alot of sound and are made to last forever. I would love to find an exhaust that functions as well as the OEM units at less weight. It seems like less weight equals more resonance which I cannot stand.
