Most tail pipes won't weigh 50LBS. A few might, but most won't. When you pull them, weigh them and let us know what they weighed and what impact it had on your performance.

My car went faster because it was lighter. I need more weight on the nose of my car so removing it from the aft end is a bonus.


I don't think that your situation is typical. It would be interesting to see how many street cars could measure a change in performance by gaining or loosing 50LBS. And most of our cars do not benefit from gaining weight on the nose.

Anything is possible and this is not to doubt what you say, but it certainly isn't what most of us can expect in those situations.
