LOL, when it's fully completed the ENTIRE 3" stainless exhaust system will weigh as much as the Racing Beat single catback racing muffler
... fully completed because in the boneheaded move of the week the high flow cat converter was left sitting on the kitchen counter back in Texas
Yep, that's right ... from exhaust port to tailpipe exit = 26 lb ....
T321 Exhaust manifold using OE flange - 8 lb
Cat pipe with first muffler (cat weight included, but not shown in pics) - 10 lb
Second muffler, Apexi ECV, and tailpipe dumping behind the diff - 8 lb
for reference I believe the OE exhaust system weights are
Exhaust manifold - 17 lb
Cat pipe with resonator - 23 lb
Catback muffler system - 39 lb
79 lb - 26 lb = 53 lb drop
a few pics during the fabrication process:
EDIT: Fully assembled exhaust (cat converter not yet installed) from later post:
EDIT: Manifold after receiving HPC Extreme ceramic coating
