Trying to figure out my weight savings based on these mods...
So I'm having a hard time finding the weight of the OEM stock versions of the equipment listed below so that I can compare the two. Here's what I have done on just the motor alone -
AEM Cold Air Intake
ATLP V2 J-Pipe
ATLP Hi-Flow Cat
XLR8 Base Duals
P2R Throttle Body Spacer
RV6 Hi-Flow PreCats
Then, this is the official weight reduction I've done -
Hood Insulation Delete (1.8lbs)
Weather Strip (above hood) Delete (1lb)
Engine Bay Covers Delete (6lbs)
Spare Tire Delete (34lbs)
Rear Seat Arm Rest Delete (6lbs)
Rear Floor Mats (6lbs)
Full Trunk Insulation/Liner Delete (23lbs)
So does anyone know my TOTAL weight savings factoring in both lists? Thanks so much in advance!

Mr. Detail
Did you save the parts you removed so you can weigh them? I do know the J-pipe I have is noticeably lighter than the stock J-pipe and 3rd cat. But I didn't weigh either to know exactly how much. AEM v2 is reasonably lightweight but the factory set-up isn't that heavy.
If you want to take weight out of your car that really matters, lighter wheels is the way to go if its in your budget. Recent article in one of the car mags about how much quicker the new Mustang GT350R is with the carbon wheels. Of course, the weight difference is pretty significant (15 lbs per wheel) but with roll-on acceleration there was something like a half second difference.

Regardless, both cars are pretty damn awesome. The GT350 is a bargain at what, around 47k?
