Bear in mind that most aftermarket exhausts underperform the stock setup, despite their claims. And it is a rare exception which equals or betters the stock exhaust.

Switch to aftermarket and odds are that weight will not be the only thing you're losing.

Aftermarket exhausts in general are just not worth the hassle and expense on these cars. If you like to tinker, or are only after 'better' sound, that's a different story.

If you can't stand that hole burning in your pocket, suggest you throw the cash at something else rather than an exhaust.

'Course then, you can't brag that you have the 'Stainless Steel 'X'-Fab Triple-Speed Go-Fast part'... even if it isn't.

Cheers!
