The SLP resonators are very light, I bet not even 5 lbs each. The OEM resonator unit was definitely heavier. I believe it's very sturdy and yanked on the pipes pretty well as that was a concern I had also. I actually bought universal 3" hangers that I was going to install but decided it does not need it, but time will tell, I also offroad. There are hangers in front and behind, so IMO the elimination of this hanger will not impact rigidity. Yes rear clamp fits like a glove. I feel pretty good about the use of clamps since that's what Mopar uses on all the other exhaust connections. But hey, I'm the bolt-on guinea pig so who knows, just as long as it doesn't fly off while I'm doing a launch, I'll be happy.
