Not having parts duplication is always cheaper, the question would be, what kind of markup would that added performance warrant? I'd wager paying for the upcharge would beat the price to do it after the fact.

That is an interesting perspective looking at the ~30-40% upcharge for lighter versions of current offerings from Subaru, Lexus, Nissan and Porsche.
