If exhaust pressure is high enough to blow a hose clamp off, the restriction it imposes will outweigh the weight benefits.
You should never see more than 1psi in the exhaust system.
hmmmm. google says 4-8psi in a stock exhaust system. I'm mostly just thinking that a hose clamp isn't going to deform the steel muffler enough to make a tight fit on the existing exhaust pipe. The acceleration forces, alone, might be enough to sling it off.
o2 sensor has been working fine so far.
