A fair bit, yes
On the weight issue, we never weighed them side by side, but I would be willing to bet that the arms, shocks, and crossmember don't weigh much more than the factory leafs did. We got all our parts from
Stock Car Products. Their arms are $225 each, and it says the bushing style ones weigh 19 pounds each.
On the exhaust, pretty much the only possibility is a side dump. There's room around the rear end for tailpipes, but there's just no clearance around the arms to get pipe back there. We will be running oval tubing with the low profile SpinTechs, mounted solid to the frame rails and body, with a slash cut exiting in front of the tire NASCAR style.
