You'll save a few grams of weight in the motor and lose a bunch in your wallet. The crank will set you back about $3,200, and about $16,000 for the motor build.
Hotrodz and redondoaveb like this.

Not a reduction, but IS a weight:
The Racebred 4 inch splitter for the Nismo V1 bumper weighs 18 lbs and 12 oz

It extends back to the rear of the front bumper at the sides, straight across on the rear.

Will be weighing the 9LR splitter eventually, which extends much further back.
Rusty and Hotrodz like this.

Sounds like the APR splitter I have.
