Does anyone know the weight of a standard N/A back box? Just wondered how much weight saving there is in swapping to aftermarket, just weighed a VSE at 7.7kg and the standard back box felt a lot heavier when I swapped mine over, dont have the old box to weigh now though

That is a fair old saving just on the VSE.

For future refernce, I recorded:
Standard NA manifold = 5.7kg
Standard NA downpipe + cat = 6.2kg
Standard NA backbox + U bend = 11.5kg
Total = 23.4kg
Piper NA manifold = 2.5kg
Piper NA downpipe + cat ~ 5kg
Piper NA backbox (non repackable) = 9.5kg.
Total ~ 17kg
