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.

i'll be going with your hfc's and the x-pipe catback in the near future....just need to decide on a good solid cai system
