From what little I've seen the Akrapovic exhausts for cars do drop a good amount of weight. I just took a look through their twitter feed and the exhaust they're making for the X6M weighs 23Kg less than stock.
I'd imagine for the average car you're not going to see anywhere near that amount of weight savings but if it's anything over 20 lbs I'd say that's decent. Then again, easy to make something significantly lighter when you use titanium. Only problem is it'll be stupid expensive.
But anyway, I think the question of whether they're going to offer CF exhausts for street cars has been answered: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.bimmerboost.com/content.php?1003-Akrapovic-releases-their-titanium-evolution-exhaust-system-for-the-E71-X6-M">http://www.bimmerboost.com/content.php?1003-Akrapovic-releases-their-titanium-evolution-exhaust-system-for-the-E71-X6-M</a><!-- m -->
Only question now is which cars they'll make applications for
