Default Weight savings with Milltek......

While there haven't been any published test results of power changes with milltek downpipes from any source to date, I wonder what the weight savings are for these units over stock. Could be a fair bit. Overall weight reduction with DP + catback could be 50-60lbs. Anyone have this info?

Default I can definitely speak...

...to the weight savings of a recently installed Magnaflow system:

OEM Exhaust: 64 lbs.
MF Exhaust: 37 lbs. (w/ hardware)

Weight Savings: ~27 lbs.

Everything was weighed on a hanging digital scale.

I know this doesn't address your question regarding the Milltek system, sorry.

Default >37 lbs vs.64 lbs

IIR correctly, the stock system weighed 67 lbs.

The MagnaFlow system weighed 35-27 lbs with the hardware.

The Milltek system is, I believe, a tad lighter, due to the smaller mufflers and lighter weight gauge steel.
