How much does (Vishnu) up-pipe weigh?
Hello, people. Did you happen to weigh your 321 up-pipe and underdrive pulley from Vishnu? I forgot to do this before they were installed. I noticed that the stock stuff that came off the car weighs a *lot* more. I'm trying to keep a log of weight addition/removal.

The Vishnu up pipe weighs 4.5 lbs. The factory pipe with heat shields weighs 7.5 lbs.
The Vishnu underdrive pulley weighs 1.5 lbs. The factory pulley weighs 5.0 lbs.
If you only fill your windshield washer reservoir to about an inch above the supply pipe you will have a half dozen or so windshield squirts and you will save an additional 7 pounds!
I have the Vishnu parts on my car and weighed everything with a very accurate scale.
Hope this helps.

I learned this the hard way one stormy night on a salted highway. What was I thinking?

1) Fill washer reservoir to minimal level for weight savings.
2) Stash washer solution jug in trunk for quick refills when reservoir runs dry.
