Good idea out the hood. Still will look sleeper, except the sound, compared to through the fender.

Post a video of it idling when you are done. I want to hear if it is very loud.

So, how much is weight saving by removing exhaust pipe and muffler?

Cutting that fender sucks because its several layers of metal at kind of an odd angle. I actually used a 6" hole saw so the pipe has room to move when the engine torques over.

Exhaust was about 70lbs according to my beat up garage bathroom scale.
