Just weighed:

xlr8 V2 J-pipe = 11.8lbs
xlr8 quad exhaust w/res = 51.6lbs (w/o hardware)

Weighed on my awesome bathroom scale.

Didn't have a chance to weight my stock type s j-pipe and exhaust or the rv6 ones though. Anyone have weights for these to contribute to this thread?

 

Got more weights from another member thank you!

RV6 V3 J-pipe: 13.8lbs

OEM J-pipe (w/3rd cat): 20.4lbs (I think this came from an accord, not sure if same as TL)

 

inaccurate has a nice little thread with aftermarket parts and oem parts and how much they weigh.

 

I checked his list. I only saw a weight for a stock base model exhaust, which when added to the mid muffler delete he did, totaled 52.1lbs. His photos show a 3rd cat but he says it's without it, so could be an empty shell, I don't know.

Either way, I didn't see weights for all j pipes or exhausts, including a type s stock exhaust, which will be a pound or two heavier. If you know what page he has this info, please share.

He does have a 4.5lb weight savings on an xlr8 j-pipe over stock, so assuming it's a v2, we get a total of 16.3lbs for the stock j-pipe. I'd assume this is without the 3rd cat.

 

I actually brought home a shipping scale from work to weigh my aftermarket wheels.
since, my car isnt a daily driver i could take parts off if you wanted me too.
I have a base TL.
is there something that you want a definite weight for?

 

Thx but I don't want to make you take parts off just to weigh them.

I was just interested in the weights of the xlr8 and rv6 j-pipes and exhausts in comparison with the type s stock units. I know the j-pipes are lighter, in part thanks to the deletion of the 3rd cat. Curious about the exhausts, esp rv6's dual setup. Sadly I didn't have a chance to weigh it before installing it. I was surprised to see xlr8's exhaust weigh about the same as a stock base one, and the type s can't weigh that much more, it's only dual tips, everything else is the same. Inside the mufflers might be different too, but from there on back they are the same.

 

i still have the shipping scale and will probably weigh the RV6 true dual this weekend for you.
i dont mind taking things off

 

Sweet!

The exhaust isn't too bad compared to the j-pipes. Much appreciated

 

So I lightened my car by 9 pounds with the XLR8 j-pipe? 10s here I come!

 

If you also take the manual out of the glove box you might break into the 9s
