The ones on the market now are significantly heavier than stock.

Pauter made my custom rods as for weight they are 552 grams over all they were much longer than stock around 6MM for my NA build though.

for some reason the aftermarket designs have yet to catch up with the oem trend of a thinner top strap

Any news on this Matt?
