Standard exhaust is reasonably heavy.
Rear seat delete is good, but while you are there take out all the excess rear bolts, mounts, speakers seat belt stuff etc. (but keep the sound insulation, and trim!)
There can be significant savings in brakes, suspension, clutch/flywheel and propshaft.
Most of that stuff doesn't effect daily driving, but the next steps are things like moving the sound system completely along with the air conditioner... and suddenly daily driving can become bit of a chore...
