So this knock off exhaust weighs 7lbs more than stock? I thought it was supposed to be lighter. I think the HKS one is lighter. Anybody want to confirm the weight of the knock off and the original HKS?

The shipping document on my HKS indicated 31 lbs. I didn't weigh it myself, but that's what the form said.

7lbs isn't going to kill your performance. Heck I bet some of you guys are overweight.

from what i remember when shipping out the hks exhaust it was about 75 pounds in the box. its not under 70lbs because i remember we weren't able to ship it out thru fedex because of weight restrictions. the hks knock-off is 68 lbs in the box. stock is about 62lbs w/o box i believe.

Don't forget to subtract a couple more pounds for the g35 extension pipes which aren't used on the Z.

Nobody knows the weight of the knock off, stock, and the authentic exhaust. Read the thread and you'll see everybody said different weights so far for the 3 exhausts. How about somebody gives us the official weights for the above mentioned exhausts instead of guessing how they're less than stock weight, couldn't ship because it was more than 70, etc etc etc?
