im happy to offer some ways to lose weight tho:

if you want to loose weight, the first and second place to look is wheels+tires. im not sure but it **looks** like youre rocking federal 595 tires which are the heaviest tire in the milky way galaxy. every pound on your wheels+tires equates to be equivalent to ~ 10lb up on the car. so loosing 2 lbs on a header aint jack compared to 2lb on your tires. tirerack lists tire weight in the specs, indy500 are among the lighter options.

if youre serious about loosing weight, look into nonheated nonreclineable seats, titanium single exit catbacks(1 muffler weighs less), titanium front pipe, ditch your a/c, lightweight flywheel, carbon driveshaft, get a steering wheel with no airbag, yeah lightweight headers arent really a thing. im sure some headers weigh less, but there are better ways to slim down.

your invidia exhaust is probably lighter than factory, but a pig compared to a Titanium Tomei. a quick google says the invidia n2 weighs 22kg=48lbs,

The aftermarket headers weigh significantly less than stock. I'm sure they all weight similar amounts. I don't think it's discussed because people choose headers based on other things than weight. Curious if you offered a titanium header, if you could make money on the few people willing to pay for those few extra pounds. Then you could claim a 100% titanium exhaust too...
