And it only gets better. Here is the factory Aprilia titanium can which is light to begin with:


I didn't expect the carbon fiber to be much lighter because no matter what it still has to be thick enough not to crack or get damaged from vibration. This is a brand new can that is the newer generation carbon fiber can that is stronger than the first run of exhaust pipes that were prone to damage.


A weight savings of about 1.5 lbs. I'll take it and be happy. Not like I'm racing anyone but I could easily tell the weight saving with the OZ rims and I'm pretty excited about dropping off the additional pounds on the exhaust as well.
