As for weight...ffs there is a difference of 2kg between one or the other. Power to weight ratio? the car weighs about 1290kg/200 hp = 6.45/kg. take two kg and you get 0.4 of hp /kg. Nothing you will feel. Unless, you really go all out (strip the interior, carbon fiber panels, etc) the 2 kg will do FA nothing in the whole scheme of things. We are talking here about a cheap as car, with low power with good handling not LFA level car! Performance wise, the catback adds no power...maybe 2 hp if that! In the whole scheme of things and the real life fluctuations in temperature, etc, will mean nothing.
Once again, get something you like the sound of!

Well I went with the Legamax premium the whole midpipe & Rear for ~$700 shipped. I think they were charging $1300 when they first came out. And the dual resonated front pipe for ~$300 shipped.
I will post up pictures when I get home for work. Not much weight loss maybe 1lbs less for the whole Legamax. Midpipe is ~13lbs, axleback is ~24lbs big muffler and nice 5" tips. Disappointing in that sense but the sound clips I heard with that setup + UEL catless headers sounds deep and clean. Had to put my weight loss psychosis aside for a sane daily driver.
The good thing is that it looks like a stock pipe routing with the ability to take off the axleback. If its too quiet can always change it too a straight pipe or just drop it for track days.
