I put Fabspeed Bypass Pipes on my c8 stingray, along with their "mini-cats". I had a permanent CEL, that my ODB reader couldn't delete. I mean, it would delete it, but it would pop back up immediately. I hate seeing that CEL, but I love the sound of deleted cats. I know you have answered the question quite a few times on here concerning your CEL's, but it's been some time now since you answered them (9 months?). Can you please update the situation you have with CEL's now, currently? I am getting my Z06 in a couple of weeks, and doing bypass pipes is one of the first mods on my list, if the CEL issue isn't too bad. Like you said, easily deleted every 400 miles. If that's truly the case (still), then I'm all for it.

If you want to drop another 5-8 lbs. per wheel, contact Litespeed Racing. They can do forged magnesium wheels for a VERY attractive price. They'll be lighter than the factory CF wheels as well. If you're completely obsessed with weight reduction, this would be the way to help you get there without having to spend $15-20K on CF wheels. Also, getting rid of the sound deadening material in the cabin will drop more weight than you think. Changing the driver seat to a CF fixed bucket will drop weight too. Don't forget, you have to add-in the weight of brackets and sliders. I don't know if any CF body panels will help reduce weight. They're expensive and may not save as much as since the car already has light weight panels. I spent a few years taking 180+ lbs. off a 2006 e90 BMW 330. These are the steps I took as well as what you've done. I didn't delete any seating, but was able to do a CF hood, roof and trunk.
