Default C5 exhaust weight

I have 3 C5 exhaust systems sitting in my garage and decided to weight them each. I'm sure this has been covered before but I figured I'd share my findings.

C5 Z06 Titanium Exhaust - 26.6 LBS

Base C5 exhaust (chrome oval tips) - 34.4 LBS

SLP Loudmouth w/cross bar - 28.3 LBS

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that the Ti's were 1.7 LBS lighter than the SLP loudmouth which is just straight pipes.. Amazing.. but I do make more power with the SLP's.

The Tis are very light - great if you are looking for weight reduction.

I thought the Ti's were even lighter. My Ti's replaced Borla Stingers, which probably weighed even more than the stock heavyweights. Thanks for the info.
