It's hard to really tell without knowing what all comes in the car, especially if the engineers are already focusing on weight management. There's usually a good amount to be saved swapping out the stock exhaust system.
I don't want to compromise the comfort. I regularly have to drive long distances, so I need to keep the AC and stereo, otherwise I'd go crazy.

Lots of weight can be saved via the "nickel and dime" method....replacement of numerous small parts instead of focusing on really big stuff, like polycarbonate windows, AC delete, interior stripping, etc.
