I apologize if I came off defensive as it was not my intent nor was it directed towards you. The point is that two 2.5" pipes weigh significantly more than one 3.5" pipe

These were independent results from a customer.
All sales aside, IMO the gains were solely based on the fact that there's less restriction in the system due to the loss of the secondaries. The gains are realized in the upper RPM range due to the loss of restriction and increase in flow.
With that said, most people choose to go with the single midpipe over the twin to combat the natural raspy S55 engine note. The couple dozen pounds you save is an added benefit
