catalytic converter                  16.8   
exhaust manifold heat shield          2.4   
exhaust manifold w cats              16.2   
exhaust splash shield                 1.2
heat shield small                     0.2   
heat shield muffler (black)           1.2

Zero manifold is less than a third the weight at 8lbs. With the sports cat and lacking of other stuff I've probably shed. Reckon about 30lbs shed.

If I can replace the horribly heavy TTE with something else I'll be happy.

Nope. TTE went on in about 2014 and never been off its hangers since
