Weight of OEM exhaust system?

Has anyone weighed the complete OEM exhaust (headers and mufflers)?

cheers

I have a set of stock mufflers next to my work bench and a stock set of headers. Give me a couple minutes...

EDIT: Okay, so this was done with a bathroom scale, just so you know. Weighed myself, then weighed myself holding all the parts.
The two mufflers weigh 20 lbs.
The header weighs 6 lbs.

EDIT AGAIN: These mufflers were weighed after a full bafflectomy Sorry. Just remembered this.

I can weigh the mufflers on Monday if no one else has answered that part by then. Might want to PM me a reminder Sunday night cause I've already forgotten.

EDIT: Rex beat me to the punch.

I wish I weighed my Jardine high mounts before putting them on. They honestly felt like the entire exhaust system weighed as much or less than one OEM muffler.

Oem would surely be heavier compared with aftermarket brand that is why most owner replace them as their first upgrade.Now a days exhaust can are made of Carbon fiber or Titanium which very durable and light weight. I bought a yoshimura exhaust from 4wheelonline, all I can say its worth the purchase. Awesome sounding and great styling and weight, almost half of the oem.

My Akra system with the carbon cans defiantly weigh less than one stock muffler

I weighed the stock mufflers at 11.2 lbs. ea. and do not have a header to weigh. I used a pretty accurate digital scale.

I would trust your measurement over mine, since I just used a bathroom scale. Thanks for measuring!

EDIT: You know what...I totally fogot about something. I did a full bafflectomy to the mufflers I weighed! Oops. I'll edit my post above.
