Since we're talking about the PSEs--again--I'm curious, does anyone know if there is a weight difference between the older version and the current one? L'm looking to do the exhaust next and I'm always looking to save weight when possible.

I'm guessing the weight gain can't be that tremendous such as to impede in any noticable way performance. Even if it is 10 pounds heavier (which I highly doubt -- more likely 5 lbs. or less) that would be the same effect as the different weights of drivers, though it is on the already heavy rear end of the 996.

That's a difference of 3 pounds total between stock and the old style PSE, or the equivilent of less than 1/2 gallon of gas or whether you ate dinner before you got in the car or not.
