Couple questions about the RX-8 Mazdaspeed dual sport muffler
I'm looking to buy the following exhaust for my 2006 6MT RX-8:
I have a few questions...
1) Mazdaspeed claims this dual exhaust is lighter than the factory unit. How much does the factory catback weigh? Has anyone weighed the Mazdaspeed dual muffler exhaust?
2) Has anyone done any before and after dynos pulls with this exhaust? I imagine the gains are minimal, but it would still be interesting to see the results.
Thanks!

Well from Racing Beat's website, it appears the stock catback weighs 39lbs (http://racingbeat.com/resultset.asp?partnumber=16396). Has anyone weighed the Mazdaspeed dual muffler exhaust?

I'll be using it for daily driving - for autocross a custom single exit exhaust will be fitted.
Thanks!

Are you already sporting a single? Or is this something you plan on doing later on?

Independent of this autocross-only-exhaust, I would like to have a deeper sounding exhaust on my car 24/7.
