After weighing a front bucket seat with OUT the mounting bracket a stock neon seat weighs about 23 pounds. I cut my damn hand open digging for the seeat. But yea. On my scale used for weighing people it reads out to about 23 pounds with no bracket. I know that bracket doesnt weigh moer then a pound or 2?

True. I do like those. I know this kid here thats selling seats with air bags in them. They are tight as hell. I think he wants $300. They are all black. Really cool and comfy.

Yes i do. When i towed my car bad i messed up on a bump and smashed 1/4 of my piping. It works better then the intercooler piping. I just used a primer and rubber cement. And it is really easy to make different bends. If only i could figure out a way for it to make the air colder with it, then it would be perfect.
