Default Anyone run without mufflers

I'm still trying to trim weight from my new to me spec boxster. Not easy getting to min weight with a 200lb driver. How many of you guys run without mufflers?

Thanks
Jeff

I've got mufflers but they are from a motorcycle. Mine is very close to 2650 and I'm also in West Chester. You are welcome to stop over some time.

Straight pipes here. Unfortunately even with them, my car is still heavy with a 180 pound driver. I've still got some weight to go find as well...

My current setup is straight 1.75" pipes. If I could add to this post, what size tubing are the others using with no exhaust?

I have the precision exhaust. It sounds great but it's loud.

Don't know what DB you are trying to hit but to meet sound at a local track the only cheap way to do it was the stock 3.2 muffler, but lose the cats. It does weigh a ton. Past that you're into building a custom setup and due to the complexity even precision recommended the 3.2 muffler....
