Too quiet!!

[Larry's Yellow Rdstr]

I just ordered Borla Sport mufflers for my C6. The factory mufflers were putting me to sleep. I had Borlas on my C5 and I really liked them. I'm not concerned if I get any additional performance from the mufflers as I'm interested in better engine sounds. I am curious though on any weight savings comparing the stockers with the Borla S. Anyone know??

Save the wave!

Phrased another way:
How much does the complete cat back Borla S system weigh?
How much does the complete stock exhaust system weigh?

TIA

I`d weigh the new before you put on and weigh the old off...if it really matters. Even if there is a difference,do ya really think it would matter?? Kinda like if I ate a big lunch or not.lol.

I may seem anal in my post, and thats my Porsche thinking comming out. I changed my OEM mufflers on my GT3 to FabSpeed and saved 30 lbs. Weight reduction is almost as good as additional HP. I also went to a light weight flywheel and Cup gears saving another 20 lbs. Weight reduction comes 1 lb at a time.

Of course you are entitled to save every pound...guess its just not my thing for a street car. I`d be curious tho if you tell me what the difference would be anyway. hopefully it doesn`t add more weght...that would be counter productive,right? i wonder why the manufacturer of the exhausts would be able to tell you...vroom...vroom...
