The stock exhaust is f'n heavy - get a nice aftermarket setup. Any one will do and it will be lighter. Take the rubber mat from the back hatch area out. Remove the AC. Your radiator will get more direct air across it and changing spark plugs will be easier. Replacing busted oil cooler lines will be easier (don't ask) as well. Get a 9.5# flywheel too.



I've removed tons of junk from under my hood. It's made my life easier. Less stuff to break. Plus it has taken lots of weight (it all adds up) out of there.

if you have that adjustable suspension crap take off the servo motors on top of the shocks cause they weigh like 2lbs each and i doubt they work and you get a switched power source under the hood
