anyone know if its heavier than stock...

and how to determine difference for assurance that the part wasnt just painted red...

its a lot lighter than stock, you can also check the welds.. they are a lot better than stock as well. It will be red and also have a Mazdaspeed Gold Plaque and i think a part# on it or something.. my friend has one.. very sweet.

Is that used? How much do used ones go for?

Looks cool.

Where did they manage to save the weight? Is it different material, construction or maybe both? And aside from better welds, where is it stronger? I've never seen one in person or a side by side picture, so I'm curious.

Nice, but they still break, just not as bad or as often as the stocker.
