Performance MOD update #2 + custom single exhaust question

it's that time again....

6 speed carbon grey/black interior
Carbon Fiber Hood (stock hood: 38lbs CF hood: 20lbs)
Comptech rear sway bar
Injen CAI
Comptech Header
17x8 Kosei K1 TS (Gunmetal) (stock rims: 22lbs kosei: 15.4lbs)
Fuzion ZRI 235x45x17
Mobil 1
Carbotech Bobcat front brake pads (Red)
Axxis Ultimate rear brake pads
Muteki Super Light Weight Lugs (Black)
Hondata reflash
OEM spoiler
Buddy club N+ spec coilovers
Ingalls rear camber kit

My last mod for this year will be Carsound universal high flow cat, a custom single exhaust, and Password JDM intake gasket....

Anyone know a good performance exhaust shop in Orange County?
I'm planning on going to A1 Exhausts in Santa Ana, please let me know if anyone here knows of a better place?

I am almost at my goal of 100lb diet...
20lbs hood + 20lbs wheels + 10lbs header + 5lbs intake + 40lbs cat and single exhaust + etc

Hopefully i will reach my goal of 3130lbs and 250hps at the crank by end of this year.....

Just to add on your diet plan. I know this kid back in HS and he's dying to make his car lighter he decided to go on a 'diet' himself wanting to loose 20lbs.
It was kinda funny.

hehehe, I'm 5'11, but only 128lbs .... Been trying to GAIN weight for the past couple years, so far, I'm picking up one pound per year.

taewlee, isn't the wheels part around 26lbs? (22-15.4) = 6.6 x 4 = 26.4 lbs savings

5' 9" here @ 238 lbs - 12% body fat. If I lose anything it will be muscle. I guess I need a Viper V-10 to drop in my TSX.

i will post pics later.... but can someone give me any good suggestions for custom single exhaust shops in oc? i hate how all the exhaust systems for our car is dual, it's like putting on weight you dont need and fattening up an already fat car...

mobil 1 advertises more power, so im hoping there's even a 0.01% in increase in power from less friction using betting lube
