For the filter, I'm gonna go with everyone else and say the K&N. It really is the best and all those companies like Injen and AEM use them in their Cold Air Intakes. As for the weight....remove unnecessary things. 1)Sound deadening, it really doesn't reduce noise at all from my experience but weighs 60lbs...On my eclipse it weighed 63.3lbs. 2)Rear seats, unless you need the back seat for something else... ....get rid of it. 3)Front fenders weigh about 25lbs each, switch to urethane units. 4)Y2k Toyota celica front seats weigh much less than the front cloth or leather 3000gt seats, get em. Plus they're this cool neoprene stuff that looks really sweet. 5)Lose the AC system, good for me since i drive a droptop, iffy for you guys with coupes 6)Carbon fiber hood. Not only for good looks, lose about 30lbs or more 7)Leave the spare tire and tools at home. Get Triple A. 8)Go on diet. Winters over, start excercising you happy-meal-eatin-thunder-chunky. 9)Switch to a single exhaust. Dualies look cool, but lose one side and you've lost about 15lbs 10)Get Lightweight wheels. 93-96 Mazda RX7 stock wheels weigh next to nothing and are wider than your current wheels. Collectively, lose 15lbs from the car and like 60lbs of unsprung weight. Depending on how fat you are...It could be down to 3600lbs or even 3500lbs. Remember, your goal is 3400lbs. That's about the same weight as a z and lighter than a supra. Now you can handle, accelerate, and stop better and also re-install the back seats since the chicks will see you're ripped and not a flabby-oevrweight-Fatty-Mcfatfat. Good luck.
