Default Quick question...

Does anyone know offhand how much the stock exhaust weighs on a 2002 C5? How about the '02 Z06 exhaust? Thanks!

I just weighed some stock 2000 exhausts at right at 22 pounds each. All C5\LS1 exhuasts are the same except for the tips which are insignificant with respect to weight measurements.

Last I checked the Titaniums weighed in at around 14 pounds each.

Yes many aftermarkets are light.

The B&B PRT's (not much to them but a resonance chamber) are very light and weigh right near the Z06 Titaniums, and obviously look and perform a ton better.

The biggest chunk of the "magical" weight reduction on the Z06 was the removal of the heavy runflats and the addition of the titanium mufflers.

About 42 pounds just in those two changes.

The Corsa Ti's are suppose to be even lighter than the Z06 Ti's. Too bad they're so expensive.
