Default The 370Z Weight Reduction Thread

If anyone is still looking for a lightweight battery that won't break the bank; I just purchased the Duracell Ultra AGM powersport battery for less than what the PC680 costs. Haven't tried it yet but I will on Thursday and let you guys know. Here's the weight.
Model number DURAGM-18L
CCA330

invidia catback weights 56,6lbs alone (without gaskets and screws):

- Tips: 1,3lbs
- Muffler: 25,8 lbs
- Resonator pipes: 13,2lbs for both
- X pipe (thats not really, an Xpipe just two straight line): 6,6 lbs
- Straight pipe: 9,7lbs for both
- gaskets and screws:2,4 lbs

So the invidia catback weigths a little bit more than stock catback , 2,6 lbs more not bad for a full dual pipes catback with dual muffler.

Forgot entirely about this thread. The battery has held up nicely since I've installed it. I've gone as long as a week and a half without turning the car on and it still cranks just fine.

Hey everyone. So I can give you guys some insight into the glass aspect on the Z seeing as how I work for Safelite. You can definitely shave around five pounds installing an aftermarket windshield depending on the brand.
There are a few brands I would definitely stay away from however. Benson, Xyg, and most recently Pilkington. Pilkington used to be a great manufacturer for aftermarket windshields but it looks they have shifted their focus on quality towards they're OEM partnerships.

If you need your windshield replaced I would recommend asking for brands such as Fuyao, AGC, or PGW. They're lighter than the OEM Carlex brand and meet the same DOT safety standards with excellent quality.

And there are people that would shy away from Fuyao simply because they are a Chinese company. I can assure you that this company actually makes better quality glass than some of the American brands.

Depending on where you live, replacement usually runs around $350 with Safelite. Cheaper if you bring it into a shop and easier on the technician as well.

Unfortunately not. I didn't have a scale when I compared the weights by simply lifting it. I do know Fuyao and AGC felt like the two lightest. There is also a brand called Saint Gobain Sekurit that I know makes the lightest windshields I have ever come across. They didn't have one in stock at the warehouse so I wasn't able to compare that one. If that brand even makes windshields for the Z. They're an OEM manufacturer for VW, Porsche, and a handful of Nissans.
