Really? Can you verify this? I was led to believe otherwise O_o;

The total weight of the MXP exhaust is 56lbs. From what we have seen, the factory exhaust weighs about 62lbs (however, my source could be a little off).

So it's an actual increase in weight...weird.

Not too bad, it's on the low part of the car so it's not ridiculous or anything, but I didn't expect an aftermarket exhaust to be heavier than stock..

+2 lbs. for this sort of exhaust layout is really good, imo.

From what we have been told, the walls of the piping are bit thicker to withstand the abuse of daily driving. Being that the exhaust itself has a full 3 year warranty, they wanted to construct the most durable, high performance system on the market. With that said, some things had to be sacrificed.

The Stillen CBE is also heavier than stock.
