How does your systems weight compare to stock.

The full system alone on a scale weighs right at one pound less than a factory system, without the tunnel plate.
Although it's not a great deal lighter than factory, with the tunnel plate, there will be a huge weight savings while riding due to ice and snow build up. Our header/pipe assembly is much larger than factory, and is an extremely free flowing design. They do come standard with an O2 bung installed, and I regret to say I haven't had the opportunity to install a wideband on one last season to assess the need for a control module. One sled appeared to run as if a box would be needed and showed small signs of popping at WOT. Other models have not. When installing the baffles, those signs went away yet did decrease noise levels, but did not appear to decrease performance. In a short race on the trails with a stock machine, the sled with the exhaust was ahead every time, by a margin of about 1 to 1 1/2 sled lengths in approx 750'.
Our system is made out of a much thicker stainless than the factory titanium alloy, but we chose durability over saving a few fractions of a pound. The alloy our systems are made of is 321, which is a very high grade of stainless, containing titanium. It is perfect for resisting rapid and severe temperature swings, and is most commonly used in higher quality turbo headers.
