Actually, when i cut the stock mufflers of my car and put on Roush Axle Backs, I took them to a scraper who weighed them before they quoted me on scrap value. Total weight for the stock mufflers was 55 LBS, ( + 25 LBS a piece). :eyebulge:

If you're worried about weight, lightweight wheels will help the most depending on your budget. Overcoming the rotational inertia of heavier wheels on acceleration is much greater on a pound for pound basis than removing weight from the body (obviously only to a point since wheels can only be so light).

There are good options that can drop you to sub 20lb/wheel.

Ignore my sig, the GTPP are heavier than stock :p
