I wouldn't worry about the weight of the muffler....Aftermarket exhausts (I have Stainlessworks) are pretty heavy....they replace the stock tubing with a heavier, larger diameter Stainless....Just sayin I think the majority of the weight is in the tubing, not the cans...even if you go muffler delete, it's not much different in weight, you're adding back more tubing ....But it's a fun mod for sound, etc....
That NPP looks like the best of both worlds, and yes you can very inexpensively paint the part the shows...
The aero can go either way.....I believe the V-6s and I-4 has aero design for mileage, actually creating up-lift....Whereas Performance aero, which produces down-force at speed, is actually worse for mileage, but better for handling, is how the SS aero is designed.....
