Lighest headers, kooks or arh 2"
Who has the lightest headers? The spreadsheet on here suggests Kooks WITH cats, are lighter than ARH without, I somewhat doubt it , but hey could be real, does anyone have exact figures of the headers with X pipes?
really aiming for that 3000lbs mark with full tank, and think I will get there this winter.

my car weighs 2600lb...you don't get there by weighing headers, you get there with a 5" clutch, carbon fiber, lexan, and light wheels.
My Fleebay long tubes were very light, but I seem to have gotten lucky

Is that with fluids and how much fuel?

No Cats
I only had time to weigh the driver side header, it came in at 12lbs. 10 oz. I am sure my 1.75" LG Street Series are lighter (by feel) but they just can not breath enough for the new NA motor so a slight weight gain is needed. No cats, it is track only.

IIRC David you also chopped off the OEM halo structure and just went with the cage for the B pillar correct and covered with carbon fiber? That must have saved 20-25lbs. I would guess? I am at 2800 lbs. and would love to get some additional ideas that I have not already captured.

I have a World Challenge carbon 1 piece roof/cowl, an old Wheelen leftover. And Z06 fenders. Nothing else fancy except clutch.

I think Kerry sells them for around $2500....carbon, fiberglass, whatever you want. The C5 version doesn't have the cowl built in. I don't know the exact weight comparison, but this one piece replaces my windshield, a pillar, b pillar, and OEM cowl. Allows you to gut everything and have a single removable roof (including lexan windshield if you want).
I can take it on and off by myself

That's awesome David! Thanks for the pictures, I have seen some of your post and often wondered where the last 200 lbs are on my car. Is your car a base steel frame or Z06 aluminum frame?
