  • weight reduction

    When swapping out my buddy's downpipe/testpipe & swapping in his cat. (for his annual smog test) today I decided to weigh them. 14lbs heavier is the stock downpipe/cat. compared to the CM downpipe/testpipe. That's quite a difference. Makes me wish I would have weighed the entire stock exhaust & my CM 3" when I installed it. That cat is quite heavy it appears.

    Makes perfect sense. Think about how heavy the entire stock exhaust system is on the Z32. 2 of everything.

      I compared a twin tube aftermarket mid pipe to the stock non-turbo mid pipe on my 87na.... the stock one was one bigger pipe with heat shielding and it was a good double the weight

      so lesson being yea the exhaust is heavy, and the cat itself isn't that bad actually

        Yes it weighs a lot. But also remember that it is virtually the lowest point on the car. 14lbs off of the roof would be a much bigger deal (unless all you care about is drag racing).

          also keep in mind that you a used cat is going to weigh a lot more if it has any shit clogging it up
          Funny stories!

            I did. 15.8lbs lighter overall. I think I posted it a long time ago.

            Stock 86T compared to 3" CM with test pipe and single tip magnaflow.
