Message The exhaust quite nice but the weight savings are so minimal for the cost. Now for full racing team every lbs makes a difference because the team next to you also has it. I been doing work with a Lemans GT3 Porsche Racing team (J3 Racing) and we have gone to extremes to save weight. But they only do it because they have to stay competitive.

But on the street its all about power and traction. And while weight matters 20lbs isn't going to be such a big factor. Now if we were talking 100-200 lbs then it would be worth it.

If you want to save weight get rid of the glass hatch :-)

As far the shocks that aluminum such as Tein RA are very nice but in hit one pothole at high speed and the shock will bend.

Here is where I think it would be best to spend the money for myself, TTpete, and you.

1) Replace the LSD.. get better traction
2) Widebody rear .. wider wheels .. Get better traction
3) Upgraded tranny like the UAS has. Better gearing, smoother shifting, lighter, less horsepower loss.
4) Replace the rear hatch.

Thats all I can think of for now. Which is basically my current wish list. Most of them will happen anyways.
