When I compared the weight of the OE exhaust and the Akrapovic system there wa just 800g between them: OE 7.2Kg and Akra 6.4Kg. Not exactly a massive weight saving for the huge financial outlay, especially when some 2-1 systems that cost less than half as much come in at a little over 1.5Kg!
You could quite easily cut open and remove the cats form their chambers provide you, or someone you know has the equipment and welding skills to do the job.

The Akrapovic system comes with pretty effective and quiet dB killers. I guess removing the cats would make things a little louder, but probably not so much as you'd even notice.
