hey has anyone ever taken out their back seats in a 5th gen for weight reduction or subs or anything like that?

i'm thinking about taking mine out cuz it really isn't comfortable and i don't drive more than a passenger in the car anyways...

just wondering if i need to do any cutting cuz i don't wanna destory the seats and i might put them back later on

any site relating to instructions on taking out seats is helpful too thx

 

no cutting, there should be clips under the front of the seatpads that pull out and then the seats just lift up and slide out. The seatback is held in with a few bolts.

 

Yeah, it's real easy.

But the entire rear seat (bottom & back) only weighs about 20 pounds, so don't expect a huge difference. And it does help keep things quieter as well - there's more road noise and you can hear the fuel pump whining with them out.

 

You dont want to keep the rear seats because you only carry 1 passenger? I dont get it. If you dont carry more than 1 passenger, whats the harm in keeping them there?

 

I took the rear seats out before to add some dynamat. I rode around like that for a week and that was loud as hell. Personally, I don't think it would make that big of a difference. It was pretty easy though.

 

thanks for help, just wanna take it out see how it looks (maybe throw in a sub) probably will put it back in if it doesn't work out.

 

i have a bbk fuelpump that pumped around 255 lph and without the backseats, the car was loud as hell. a constant noise. it's real easy tho. i took out every seat besides the driver one.
