If you guys are going to proceed with the project -- can you get me the stock weights of the rear mufflers when you pull them off?
I don't have exact numbers on them, but I remember thinking they "felt" like 2-5 gallon gas cans full each..........

Seriously, the cat to muffler pipe section felt like 20-30 lbs and each muffler felt like 15-20 lbs maybe. I may be way off on this, but I know the FM 3" cat back kit with the mufflers was a big reduction in weight.
