I clamped my 16612. The first day, I had leaks and didn't like how it turned out.
The next day, I disassembled the system and reinstalled it, taking more care to orient the muffler they way I wanted it and the tail pipe the way I wanted it. I began bolting the clamps from the front and working my way to the back.
Along the way, I overtightened a clamp and broke a bolt (*doh!*) I used the remaining clamp and hooked up everything except the tail piece. I left that "floating" and then drove down to a local muffler shop. Once we had the tail pipe positioned the way I wanted, it, he welded it together.
So aside from that mishap, all went well, but I think welding the tail piece would be a good idea since that's quite a bit of weight for a clamp to hold without sagging.
