Dave, I had to move around some stuff over the week-end and I came across the muffler and resonator that I had removed from Benzer 3 over a year ago. I didn't have time to weigh them but it's safe to say that I have found a fair amount of Benzer 3's missing pounds.
Regards, Eric
400E stock resonator + muffler = 46 lbs (one piece assembly)
500E stock resonator + muffler = 49 lbs (resonator = 26, muffler = 23)

On the 500E, a steel Y-pipe weighs about 10 lbs, for a 16lb savings. The 400E would have to have this welded in since there is no flange between resonator and muffler as on the 500E. I'll post photos on my website eventually.
