Ask and you shall receive! Mine was just delivered today, and I weighed it. At first I was slightly worried, because on your site it is listed at 60.0...

. I was then a bit more relieved when I saw the shipping weight at 48 lbs. After weighing, it came out to 35.47 lbs; lighter than stock!

This is also with the plastic wrap still on it, so I'm sure it would be a few 10ths of a pound lighter...lol. And before anyone squawks about the box, I placed the box on the scale first, zeroed the scale, then placed the exhaust in the box.

You guys should update your site so its not such a scary number!

I'll make it 100lbs. j/k

Honestly, it doesn't matter as much since it's free shipping on this item within the lower 48 states (of course off our website). Also the box dimensions dictate the shipping cost more so than the weight.

Less about the shipping information accuracy, more about customers who will skip your "60lb" exhaust instead of emailing or calling for info.

You are correct. Side note, we haven't done any crazy marketing hype on this exhaust. All the guys with the CSG Touring86 exhaust are using their cars for dual purposes and even traveling thousands of miles to go to the track and back. Drone is nonexistent, sound is clean and crisp, exterior sounds like a refined sports car coming in at a higher price point.

Which is why I'm still watching this thread

For internationals like myself, are we best emailing you for a shipping quote? The shipping estimates on your site make it this exhaust an expensive option.

FYI, plastic wrap weight

Did you weigh those two yellow stickers on the exhaust tips too?

Yea, they were stuck onto the plastic wrap.

I can confirm the weight as well, except our mailroom scale came in at 34.3- 21.5 for the muffler, 8.5 for the resonator & 4.3 for the kink.

Also, Johan, yup, 4.5" tips are crazy big

! The inlet tube looks to be 2.25"and Vibrant has a solution, I'm sure there are others-

But I'll live with it for a while. I can't see the tips from the driver's seat

CSG Mike · 07-17-2017, 04:10 PM

And to think I got so much crap for running small tips the size of the actual piping for years... lol

I guess this separates out the folks who want the looks vs the performance, but that's why the tips are interchangable!

churchx · 07-17-2017, 08:00 PM

To me look of tip of actual piping size and single exhaust at that on collegue's wrx seems more tasteful, then even stock rather big diameter rice-ish dual exhaust tips for no practical reasons but looks :/. Heavier, more expensive .. and still single pipe downstream from four-banger engine to muffler. Form winning over function.
Though of course as car's bumper exhaust opening cutouts are designed around those bigger tips, it may not look that well on ours with tips removed.

Yes. International shipments should be PM based. Thank you!
