Exhaust etc... in titanium saves about 38lbs. Fly wheel/clutch about 28lbs. Boot lid 11 lbs, new battery back 35lbs, plus a few other goodies here and there for the difference.

OK giving that a very generous 23 lb for rear seat padding you are at ~160 lb. What about the stuff that makes the car heavier. 200 lb net reduction would be great but again I don't see where it is going to come from.
