Default Performance Mods that drop weight

I'm trying to compile a list of all the performance mods that indirectly(or directly) cause your car to weigh less after being installed. Here are all the ones I could think of, feel free to list more...

-carbon fiber hood
-carbon fiber trunk/hatch
-flywheel
-header
-racing seats
-wheels & tires
-pulleys
-steering wheel
-short shifter
-lower control arms

...any more?

Some exhaust set ups are less than stock. Lightweight rims and tires. You would be amazed how much more unsprung weight will help. Springs/shocks/ rotors/calipers

Pretty much all "good" aftermarket pieces weigh less than their stock counterparts. And the "good" ones that are heavier are still fine because they make up for it in performance.
