Default Does anybody ACTUALLY know what the stock exhaust weighs?

Just curious what a stock cat-back weighs. I should've weighed it before I threw it in the dumpster. I know it is heavy from when I took it off. I'm trying to document all the weight saving measures I've undertaken in my quest to have a COMFORTABLE car under 3250 pounds.

Mine is in my garage & can weight it tonight. IIRC, it is about 55 lbs.

I have one in the garage as well. I'd honestly say close to 75 pounds.

if I have time I'll take the scale out to the garage. It'll take a few days though.

I've tried two methods with a questionable bathroom floor scale. I measured by itself and with me holding it subtracting my weight. The numbers were slightly different, but were around 50-55#s. I believe the Borla exhaust I installed is about 50#, but when lifting each I thought the stock was much heavier. I am a little surprised by this result. If someone can confirm these numbers I'd feel more confident in the findings.
