Here are the wheel weights for our new forged designs for the GT4:

VS-5RS Forged
19x9" ET50 - 18.5 lbs
19x10.5" ET44 - 20.1 lbs
19x11" ET45 - 20.7 lbs

EC-7RS Forged
19x9" ET50 - 19.6 lbs
19x11" ET45 - 21.4 lbs

If you run smaller front (PFC or 997 GT3/RS are common options), you can shave more rotational mass and run our 18" wheels:

VS-5RS Forged
18x9" ET50 - 17.8 lbs
18x10.5" ET44 - 18.8 lbs

EC-7RS Forged
18x9" ET50 - 19 lbs
18x10.5" ET44 - 20.1 lbs

I've weighed some misc stuff from my 718 S. Stuff that's shared with all 718 models as far as I know. Using a bathroom scale.

- 3 lbs front floor mats (both combined)
- 3 lbs front trunk large plastic cover above battery area
- 9 lbs owners manual + flat tire kit + front trunk left/right side plastic inserts including all the content in them

You could probably drain wiper fluid for another few lbs. I haven't checked to see the capacity of the system. I literally haven't used my wiper spray in the 4yrs I've had my current car.

Does this include the damped mounts? If not, I'll put mine on a scale in a week or two.

No, those are still attached to my car. I didn't even know they could be removed. It's gotta be a pretty small difference.

Bet they're at least a pound, maybe two. I'll measure mine sometime in the next couple weeks.

I weighed the exhaust mounting hardware/brackets last weekend as I swapped from old style (w/ straps) to new style.

Old was 11 lbs total, new style 4.2 lbs. New style does away with OAP support.

Also:

Akrapovic Ti OAP weight is 4.2 lbs each.
Cargraphic track/comp exhaust (non x-pipe) is 28 lbs

Is the new style you weighed the strap on the muffler strap and the two damped hangers? I'll have to look up pics the old style, didn't know OAP support existed tho my OEM headers had supports (included in my manifold weights).
