Mainly to get groceries and diapers for my daughter from Costco. But that's not the point. To 'fix-up' my vehicle, I prefer quality components, take my time, and save weight where I can. If you like to have a 350z that weighs like a truck..by all means go ahead. I'm done here.

only added benefit is increased pad wear.

I guess 90% of the people here have a 350z that weighs like a truck then lol. I'm sorry but the HKS, or any true dual for that matter, isn't even remotely adding enough weight for you to notice. At the same time all the money you spend on replacing oem parts with lighter parts, because if you're adding anything regardless of how light it is you're still adding components, isn't going to yield huge noticeable gains.

that 15 lbs he saved though will help his car going to the store though and the brakes will insure he can park safely.

Can't believe no1 has advised this yet

but if you're soo concerned about weight savings for the exhaust, then why not just get a 10lb $3k+ Amuse, Mine's, ARC full titanium system? Guaranteed you'll lose weight over stock and i guess add to your bling factor..

That's cheap! seriously. A full Akropovic or Termignoni titanium exhaust for my motorcycle, at roughly 1/4 the size/material costs just as much!
