Default Comptech Exhaust

I'm seriously considering getting the Comptech cat-back for my AP2...the exhaust is made out of stainless steel which leads me to believe that I won't really be saving weigth.....does anyone how much weight saving I would get...I'm also going to call Comptech in a couple hours to find out the weight saving....I'd really like this exhaust to be more than just a louder pipe....I'd like to shed a little weight...thnaks in advance!!!

You wont lose much weight.

Go on a diet and save hundreds if you want weight savings.

Buy the J's 70mm Exhaust. From the header back it weighs less than 10lbs. So you save 40-45lbs over stock... It's about $1000.

Downside is it's loud and you lose your cat (meow).

There is really only one reason to move to the Comptech exhaust. It's because it sounds cool. (Looks cool too) That's usually why we do it.

It's not too pretty in the cockpit, though when cruising. Not awful, you get used to it and learn to operate the car around the drone areas.
