Its not a whole lot, but I got a diffrent exhaust system. this one weighs 36lbs, considerably less than the stock system of close to 100lbs. Mine is a single (on an SL) and sounds awesome. I got it for $435 from Monster Performance out of NY. It doesnt look as cool as the dual exit, but it sounds incredible and cuts off close to a 10th of a second.

Take off that thing mitsubishi calls a back seat because it is useless. Take off door panels.

If you don't mind stripping your car completely from the interior. You can just perform a full weight reduction 'procedure'. I think its take everything out of the car that you don't need to drive.

If you just want it for fun, you can sacrifice the stereo, and A/C.
