Default is exhaust worth it on a stock s4?

I have a 2001 tip s4. Since its on the heavy side I went with Oz superlegera which are about 1lbs less a wheel. No I hear some exhaust are alot lighter then stock as well. is thi true of the borla exhaust. will i notice any other performance gains hp wise? Not ready to chip at the moment any other ways to get REAL hp?

I think you save around 31lbs w/the borla vs stock. I noticed better mpg w/the borla.

Default mostly it will just sound faster, yes it is about 30-40 pounds lighter (estimated)

You won't get the real benefits of it unless you are chipped.

Borla weighs roughly half as much as stock exhaust

Default pullin hard, I ran a 13.7 a few weekends ago but my launch needs work

with the right launch i'll probably be around 13.5 hopefully. plus I had a full tank of ****ty 91 octane. I need to have like a quarter tank of 100 then it'll be sweet.

Default That is awesome! Carlsbad? What was your 60' time?

Do you know aprox how many rpms you were launching at? Gota let that baby rip. You should be good for close to 13.5 with a good 3200 rpm launch. Mash it!!
