True, but I don't drive around with that tool set (when it matters).
The diffusers still adds about the same weight than what the lightest legal cat-back does substract.

Glass filled epoxy laminate sheets could be a lighter, affordable alternative, but I'm not sure whether the heat radiation of the muffler would be a problem. (The guide vanes could be used to shape it, since this is not a material that can be formed cold as sheet metal can.)

I can see that most people would probably prefer a diffuser out of (thicker) aluminum sheet metal.
