You can see the piping behind the rear wheel so it seems like they ran the pipe from the mufflers to there correct? If so that would add weight not reduce it. But even if they did straight pipe it from the X pipe, you only lost maybe 10 lbs per side. You won't feel that little amount nor will it effect the cars handling.
Now my question is what are you doing to prevent it from melting the side skirts? The bottom piece of the rear fascia is made of a different kind of plastic that will better withstand the high heat from the exhaust pipe not to mention a lot thicker. The side skirts are thin and will not be able to withstand the heat given off with them being within a couple inches of the pipe.
