Default Lightweight Exhaust Option

Who has the lightest exhaust for the C8 that’s not Titanium?

Are there any that actually yield horsepower gains? Not as concerned with sound as I am performance and weight loss.

I'm looking at Paragon for my exhaust and I think they are one of the lightest non-Titanium.

Corsa Xtreme is a muffler-less system for extra weight savings. If you are really committed to weight savings don't run the tips too.
