Default Intake Manifolds - How Much Do They Weigh?

How much do the various factory and aftermarket intakes weigh?

A lot of us want to replace our heavy factory iron intakes with much lighter aftermarket aluminum intakes. Others have modified their factory iron intakes to remove unnecessary weight, often removing the iron front water crossover and substituting an aftermarket aluminum crossover. So for the sake of comparison it would be good to be able to know how much weight can be saved either by changing intakes or modifying them.

Weigh your intake on an accurate scale and post the weight here. Include a picture if you can.

After we start to compile a fairly complete list of all the most popular factory and aftermarket intakes I'll edit this post and make up a list for easy future reference.
