what stock merc exhaust crap weighs... well for a sbc anyway... the tally is in...
exhaust manifold only... 47 lbs
exhaust manifold w/ riser - 68 lbs
GLM aluminum exhaust manifold only - 16 lbs
if we do some math.. since density of the materials are the only variable because and these are supposed to be damn close exact copies so the material volumes should be very close..
47/68 = 16/X --> X = 23.2 lbs for a GLM aluminum manifold & riser assembly...
therefore going to an aluminum GLM manifold and riser system should save you 90 lbs...
