Default how much weight is all the vacuum crap

Im running a stand alone fast xfi system and im dumping all the wiring in the engine bay along with all the vacuum crap in the fenders the cruise control stuff etc. I will also be stripping all the wiring behind the dash as well and re wiring it. Does anyone know how much this stuff weighs? or a guestimate

Not enough to make a difference. What's the rule, 100lbs/tenth.

At the very least it's less crap to have to worry about maintaining or being in the way.

If your including all the smog stuff, and the carbon canister then its around 20-25lbs.

if your talking the stuff in the fenders ONLY. its about 10lbs

wiring could be up to 15lbs I would guess.


My buddy tore all the HVAC stuff from under his dash and said it was 45lbs. he also rewired his entire car.
