The OEM exhaust is all one giant piece. So, unless someone has cut their mufflers off and weighed them seperately, there's no way of knowing the exact break-down. From moving the thing around, I'd say that the mufflers are the heavy part.

You can easily find the balance point of the exhaust simply by picking it up. In my experience, the lanace point is right about the front-most part of the loops that come out of the mufflers. Meaning, the two mufflers make up about half the weight, and the rest of the piping (including the y-junction) make up the rest.

Ok good.. Thats what i expected. I was going to work on a project using a spare exhaust system and cutting the y-juntion and making it to a single. Also then i would cut the stock muffler and replace with aftermarket(mabey a 5-10 pound muffler. Hopefully it works good. Im planning on saving at least 30 pounds. Not sure if that would be enough.
