Exhaust System Weight
Just pulled the trigger on a set of LG Street series with HF cats and X-Pipe. I know how much weight I saved when I changed the stock c5 (non-Z06) system to the Z06 Ti's on the car.
Does anyone know the weight of the stock exhaust system from the manifold to the end of the h-pipe?
I can guess on the weight of the LG system as I checked the shipping order today (which they say the system will arrive Friday
) and it shows shipping weight of 54 lbs, so I figure less packing the system most likly weighs in at about 48 lbs.
Just wondering if any weight loss with new system. I will be sitting on the front porch all day Friday waiting for the UPS guy.

Weighed the factory system when I put long tubes on my Z06.
LH & RH manifold (including heat shields & gaskets) = 15.7 lbs. each
Factory H pipe including converters and flanges = 37.5 lbs.
Grand total = 68.9 lbs.
Hope this helps.

It does thanks. Looks like a possible weight savings in the area of 20 lbs. Shaved off about 25 - 30 lbs when I put on the Ti's so for the whole exhaust swap now should net me a grand total of a 45 - 50 lbs.
