Sounds kind of hard-core to me. I guess if you were having your engine completely rebuilt and fine-tuned for balance anyways, you may as well try something gutsy like that I wouldn't tear the engine apart just for the lightening though.

Seibon now offers dry carbon hoods and hatches. Something you may want to look into. Im also curious if anyone know any weights on them yet?

anybody look at Litespeed Racing? its basically a Titanium resonated straight pipe they claim exhaust weighs 14lbs excluding the Y-pipe as far as i can see sent them an email. its pricey 3600 or so but -40lbs and adding 14whp and 16trq (Dyno sheet on website) could be a recipe for success. Loud i would bet though good for a track car haha 370z Full Titanium Race Exhaust sounds pretty good as well

thanks for the quick reply. I checked this thread for weight of the stock header and couldn't find it. I only found that the Fast Intentions long tube headers, as a pair, are 17 pounds lighter than the stock headers and cats that they replace.
What was the weight of the stock headers? |

Extra pound or so you can shed without really altering the look of your car (for those of us who aren't track monsters like Spohn, Mike, or wstar, lol)

For all the Nismo guys... Removing the front and rear body dampers saves 8.4lbs. I can't hear/feel any noises/vibrations or anything after I removed them.
