I do not have any specific data about the actual weight differences, but with that said I can assure you that with the actual weight difference to me (maybe less then 5 pounds total difference between them) is not a selling point, as it's been proven time and time again that the stock manifold promotes the fastest spooling turbo through heat retention, and is about as failproof as they come. Tubular manifolds are noted for less response, and there are countless examples of them cracking (to include Tomei and other name brands)
In the end, I wanted OEM reliability, but with reliable/failsafe boost control, and this was the way to go to achieve that.
