I'd be fairly certain a little gutting of an OE muffler won't make much difference in terms of weight.

My exhaust system is 17 lighter than stock and I have no drone. My muffler does have a crossover pipe though.

I don't know why some people keep perpetuating this fallacy.
Drone has nothing to do with weight, nor how it's mounted. "...tuned to the original weight..." c'mon man.... how gullible are you, really?
