No plans on an intake system at this time. However I will say that there is a 20% chance of Berk developing a true high performance header system for the HR motor later in 2009. That for another thread and another day though. On to the exhaust weight!
I just put the parts on our shipping scale and here's where we are.
33.2 lbs - rear muffler section
8.6 lbs/ea - B-pipes (there are two)
xx lbs - Y-pipe -The Y-pipes are out for testing at the moment, I expect them to come in around 15lbs. Will update shortly.
For a system that is a true dual (more tubing & more flange connections), with an actual tangential siamessed X-pipe, and flex sections we are taking a slight weight penalty over the factory system but the performance gains FAR outweigh the weight impact.
We could save a few pounds by going with hollow exhaust hangers and thinner flanges but we would rather forgo the 3lb weight savings and build you a more robust exhaust system that should outlast the car.
