When swapping my OEM mufflers / mid-pipes for Muzzy's Dual Black Stainless slip ons, I weighed them, as follows:

OEM right-side slip-on = 15.4 lbs
OEM left-side slip-on = 14.6 lbs
OEM slip-ons total = 30.0 lbs

Muzzy right-side slip-on = 7.6 lbs
Muzzy left-side slip-on = 7.2 lbs
Muzzy slip-ons total = 14.8 lbs

Total weight savings 15.2 lbs ... so the big ol's ZX is down from 584 lbs to 568.8 ... practically a feather weight now!

With my single sided Yosh system the drop in weight was ~22. For carbon fiber, the muffler seems to still weigh quite a bit (obviously most of which is steel).
