Not all the info there is, but here's some random numbers to get you thinking..
Stock Axleback is 36 Lbs
Afe Axleback is 21 lbs
Berk Muffler Delete Axleback is about 20 lbs
Berk Race Muffler Axleback is about 25 lbs
Agency Power and Berk Midpipes are ~20 lbs each
Stock midpipes (my guess based on other data) should be about 30 lbs
AR Design DP's - 14 lbs
Raceland Catless DP's - 8.8 lbs
Supersprint Catless DP's - 16 lbs
The stock muffler seems to be the biggest offender. Which means that the PE has no weight reduction because it uses a the same-size muffler, and the resonator delete is <5 lbs. I can't find data for stock DP's, but i'd imagine with the heavy metals in the cats they'd be pretty heavy too. The midpipes probably don't shed much weight, except for the resonator. But that thing isn't all that heavy anyway..
I'd think that once you get rid of the muffler (or get a sport muffler), lose the DP's, and get rid of the cats/resonator in the midpipes, most exhausts weigh about the same within like 10 lbs, which is the difference between carrying a briefcase into the car with you or not. Biggest question in my mind is how are the raceland DPs so light
