Here is some information from the C6 Z06 "weight" sticky:

OEM Headers/Mid section/cats------> 74.5 lbs
OEM Headers/Mid section/cats------>LG SuperProLongtubes 1 7/8 + X Pipe wo/cats (-27 lbs)
OEM Headers/Mid section/cats------>B&B Headers 1 7/8+X Pipe wo/Cats 57lbs (-23.52lbs)
OEM Headers/Mid section/cats-----> Kooks 1 7/8 w/cats(-55lbs) (-10.6lbs)
OEM Headers/Mid section/cats------>B&B Headers 1 7/8+X Pipe w/Cats 62lbs (-3.6lbs)
OEM Headers/Mid section/cats-----> LG Super ProLongtube 1 7/8 + X Pipe w/cats ??
OEM Headers/Mid section/cats------>American Racing 1 7/8 w/cats(-??)
OEM Headers/Mid section/cats------> Melrose SF06RZ Long Tube Headers Exhaust System (+4.4lbs)

It's probably safe to say that the American Racing 2" headers will be within 10% of the LG or Kooks numbers above (depending on if you will be using cats or not).

Not exact, but should be pretty close.

I have a set of ARH 1 7/8" sitting on my bench & can weight them later tonight. Also have the catless X & pipes to weight as well.

EDIT: just found this on the Z06 page mentioned above- post # 364

I just weighed my American Racing 1 7/8 longtube headers without cats and it came in at 49 lbs.

The headers were 24.5 lbs and the offroad X-pipe was also 24.5 lbs.
