Message the car. The exhaust will just be one additional hoop. I would never have purchased the Brembos had they not saved me weight. The Fikse's were only a few lbs. heavier than stock. Figured that between the additional weight of the larger wheels and tires and the weight savings on the Brembo's, I essentially broke even.

The 20 - 25 lbs the exhaust will save (depending on whether or not I get the titanium test pipes) does not seem like much, but when you add it to all of the other little things we have done to drop some lbs, it all adds up nicely. With that exhaust, the curb weight of the car will be just under 3,300 lbs.

As for the $$ being worth it; quite frankly, at this point none of it has been worth it. That is my reason for holding off on any additional purchases until the car is up and running.
