Lighter headers without added noise?

New to the forum. Have a 2018 brz since new. Did the indivia v2 exhaust and love the exhaust note. Want a lighter header setup without adding (too much more) noise. Possible?

Lighter than stock? I think they all are. A catted header will be the quietest. Still louder than stock though

JDL Catted Header. Pricey, but is great quality. Did make my exhaust a bit louder (Q300), but nothing overly obnoxious, if anything makes it deep yet aggressive.

Welcome to our forum -

Your car looks good -

If you liked the sound like it is, I suggest you just leave the exhaust system alone.

Anytime you play with the cats the car will get louder. AFE has a catted EL header so the tone won't really change vs stock.

Remove the oem cat will reduce weight. Otherwise look into a good header for your budget. Regardless it will add more sound. But that's a subjective thing.

FTSpeed/FT86 Speedfactory just got their ceramic coated header back with a new bronze coating. Otherwise if you want the best money can buy? Fujitsubo.

If you have E85 around. Just get Flex Fuel and ecutek tune from CSG. Better than getting a header. If you want a bit more noise switch our your Front pipe.

Thanks all for the responses. Again I'm reducing weight in the car. Not looking at more power. At 2602lbs right now (no driver/half fluid/no junk in the trunk/LW battery/rear seat delete and other stuff removed) Shooting for 2580ish. I like the sound it currently makes, but could go a little more louder for weight loss. speedfactory headers are too loud. heard them in person. I'll keep searching. Best.

When i was NA, I had ace header, hks double res FP with csg mxp touring 86.
Sounded great, and was barely louder then stock especially when cruising.
Csg mxp is one of the best CBEs if you want good tone but little added noise.

I believe ace is 12lbs lighter too.

I dropped over 190lbs without sacrificing any driver comforts, actually reduced cabin noise in the process. AC delete for most people would be the only driver comfort i got rid of, but i never used the AC until after I deleted it. The fans work decently well with no freon.

Welcome to the forum,
nobody really talks about lightweight headers, thats not really a topic of discussion.

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,
