Question: How much weight savings are there compared to stock exhaust?
Let's say the full race DKF components compared to stock US Z4M exhaust components? |

Page 1 has weights for DKF, page 2 has approximate weights of the OEM system. Just the mufflers are 10 lbs each. X-Pipe is only 2-3 lbs. Not sure how much the stock cats weigh.

North American secondary cats are about 19lbs. Euro cats are about 22.5lbs. Just weighed both.

Basically this exhaust setup can be a nice weight saving project as well. Maybe fabricate a titanium version that can offer insane weight savings, now that would be some really interesting shit, for a race car that is.

Race mufflers 9.6 each, sport 11.2 each: 19.2 - 22.4 OEM is 22 lbs each: 44 -24.8 to -21.6 X-Pipe weighs 11 lbs. Stock weighs 15 lbs - 4 s-pipe (9lbs) + 100 cell cats (7lbs): 16 lbs stock US is 19 lbs - 3 Adding that all together we get 28.6 to 31.8 lbs weight savings. Might have to remove 2 lbs or so for the race clamps, as they're 0.4 lbs each. So 30 lbs might be a reasonably close estimate.

Looking forward to seeing this all come together.
It'll be nice to have an option for section 1 with proper bungs rather than butchering the OE piece.

^ I agree.
Most other vendors would have tucked their tail between their legs & never to be seen again. The way DKF responded with their hangars & the way they are hanging in with the exhaust development speaks volumes to the people behind the name. I'll be on the list for a system when they git'er dun

I spoke to DKF. He is right now developing the S pipe with 100 count cats, resonators, o2 bungs and EGT bung. The price is significantly lower than originally quoted. I asked him if he could do a kit with the 300 count cats because I want to run OEM software without a SES, and I'm afraid lowering the count to 100 will set it off. He told me that if we can get enough people intereted in 300 count, we can do a group buy, but we'd have to put 1/2 of the $ up first so he can get the cats.
He asked me to put this up for a group buy. He wants to know who is interested in the 100 count system and who is in for the 300 count system. I'm in for the 300 cat. |
