its around 20-25 lbs....the stock exhaust weighs around 50, no way the cat is that heavy
yeah I'd say 20 lbs for the stock cat max! probably like 15lbs
ricks headers can save 17lbs.....stock 29 ricks is 12
exhaust 30 lbs savings....stock is 48 pounds.......single SS is 17 or so titanium is like 10lbs
i belive invidia is like 27 lbs(probably comprible to your hks)
battery 11 savings stock is like 25lbs(not sure exactly) light wieght is like 14 lbs
spare tire removal 25lbs savings (not sure exactly)
no wiper fluid 4lbs savings
only have 1/2 tank of gas max! 40lbs savings
you can save 3 to 4 pounds per rim with light wieght after market
tire rack list tire wieghts see if you can get any saving there.
about 145#'s shaved before new rims and or tires
anything else requires lots of work or degrades the comfort factor imho!
gain about 1 1/2 to 2 car lengths in the quarter mile
more pricey options are calipers and rotors that are lighter but they get very expensive.

get a diffferent exhaust, the HKS is just as heavy as stock, get a nice sinlge, or lightweight dual (my invidia is a HELL of alot lighter then the stock exhaust)
or be baller and get an amuse R-1 ti exhaust, or veilside tear drop exhaust
they weigh in at 5.6-6 lbs!!!!
