The exhaust system is a place where you could save some weight. Stock system is heavy.

Default Brakes and rotors......
....seems like some folks with the "big brake" kits have reported lower weights for both the calipers and the rotors. Reducing unsprung weight is always a good thing :-)

Yeah, but after paying for all that CF, I couldn't afford my pilot's license.
