feels all of 25 pounds.

"Feel" doesn't matter.  I can guarantee the difference is much less than 25 pounds.

Sold my '11 stock exhaust for $100 to an owner of an '09 because mine looked better than his.

I believe that the weight savings was about 13# when I installed the Leo Vince, if I remember correctly.

Whatever the weight savings, after installing the after market muffler, I did not notice any difference in the handling or performance of the bike..maybe the latter is not entirely correct, as my gas mileage has gone down a bit because I twist the throttle more to get the pleasure from the sound - above 6k rpm on acceleration is nothing but pure delight.

Area P's website says that you lose 14lbs going to their slip-on from the stocker.

After considering just how slow, ugly and awful-sounding my C14 is with its stock muffler, I am too ashamed to even ride it anymore.

Area P looks like it needs a little Viagra.  ;D

Can envy? I think that you've been looking at the stock can too long is all.
