I need a little advice on where to start with reducing the weight on my "S" without taking out the soft-top and installing the hard-top. I really would like to keep the interior intact also. If anyone has any suggestions; I would really appreciate your time.

The car has the following:
- AEM V2 CAI
- HKS Hi-Power exhaust
- Test Pipe

Thanks.

 

Exhaust and Jenny Craig!

I've lost 10 pounds since February. Still have to lose 10 more to get down to 156 lbs.

 

Windshield wiper fluid, spare tire, tools

lighter rims, battery, header, seats....

 

The stock cat weighs like 50lbs. A test pipe will shave 30-40lbs for a couple hundred bucks.

 

Sorry looks like you made that move already. Carbon would be your next step. Light wheels, brakes and coilovers is an expensive way to save about 20-30lbs per corner of unsprung weight. Use the search.

 

your kidding me right? Stock cat is no where close to 50 lbs

I take it you didnt install the testpipe?

 

Yes I did actually and the stock cat was a monster. Maybe you have access to a scale.

 

dc header won't net you any hp but they are cheap and save weight, cf trunk, fenders, what other ppl have said

 

its around 20-25 lbs....the stock exhaust weighs around 50, no way the cat is that heavy
