Unless your building a bracket car i would not care to much about the weight of headers. If headers A weighs 4pounds gives 10 hp and header b weigh 6 pounds and gives 18hp, you would buy b right. What im saying is that you buy parts on how they perform. If weight is really a problem just add another mod when to your finished product to make up for the 20 extra pounds. 100lbs=.1 in the 1/4 not really worth to much effort.

To the question, there is a worth while weight savings between stock cast iron headers and after market tubular headers.
As far as the rest of the exhaust system there is little difference. It's all about the same gage steel. That is why GM went to titanium exhaust on the Z06.
