As far as the exhaust...I am actually worried about loosing too Much weight in the rear. Remember my goal is balance. I know many will say that can be tuned out but also take into consideration that I have not spent the money on adjustable suspension yet and this car will be tracked.

I can not justify a super light weight exhaust (from the CAT's back). So from the CAT's back I am aiming for power not weight. Header and CAT's are a different story though...that will be as lite as possible.
