Is no flex pipe a bad thing??
Okay,
So I just got a Fast Intentions Intimidator true dual exhaust. I took off the stock only to notice that the new exhaust doesn't have flex pipes. Is this going to cause any serious issues with cracking or am I worrying too much? I know some aftermarket exhaust systems have flex pipes and others don't. I guess I can always have a custom dual flex pipe made if necessary. Input is welcome...!!!

The motor and everything connect to it vibrates. On systems with flex joints, the vibration is absorbed by the joint. With engine torque (the motor pulls on one mount and pushes down on the other) something has to give. And what will eventually give is whatever is the weakest point.
