Ah, well thanks for the quick replies guys!

So would it actually be better to choke my intake a little bit? Maybe by covering part of the air intake with some duct tape? Or possibly make a custom cat-back exhaust out of something smaller than OEM sized piping?

What about the weight issue? Would replacing the OEM muffler with a light-weight one be a good move? Possibly with a smaller pipe leading up to it?
