Default Exhaust question

Folks,

I am planning to get exhaust changed on my 06z06.

Does any one know which exhaust (from XPipe back) is the lightest and how much less does it weigh over stock.

Stock (lbs)?
Borla?
Corsa?
Other?

Thank you

Pretty much any set of headers and x-pipe, exhuast combo should be lighter than stock because its stainless instead of cast and the metal is better qaulity so its thinner all the way back.

IF nothing for now, surely it will be on my xmas list

What ever you consider you really need to ride in a car with that exact set-up. No sound clips or comments will give you the sound and feel of the system. trust your own ears.
