Wink Weight of original exhaust system?

Does anyone happen to know how much the original 964 exhaust weighs with a catalytic converter?

I really appreciate the offer but I think it would take a while before everyone weighed different parts of the system and have me tot up the totals...I just thought there might be someone who would know....?

At least you didn't make a joke about weighing your G-pipe - would that be with or without 'horse' or 'crack' in it?

Here's some info:

Primary Muffler 23.5 lbs/10.7 kg
Secondary Muffler 23.25 lbs/10.5 kg

I got these from the <a href="http://forums.rennlist.com/forums/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic&f=4&t=001119" target="_blank">Diet</a> post. I believe Cupcar offered the information.

With Piers's cat info, what else would you need?

A full exhaust system ways significantly less than a pinstriped interior...I know which one I'd strip out first

But seriously, I expect Rob Linton knows. Send him an e-mail.

Other than the mufflers, tailpipe and cat, the basic exhaust system weighs approximately 30 pounds. Additionally, the metal tube bringing outside air into the system for passenger compartment heat weighs another 4 pounds.
