I don't have first hand experience, but I imagine the danger is that w/out the flex section, there is more strain on the ehaust componenents (b/c there is no section that can flex under stress) and that it is more prone to cracking or putting other strain on the exhaust components.

Look at the exhaust as a system, and not just individual components. Since the motor moves, and the exhaust is attached, then the exhaust must also move. Built some flexible points into the exhaust. No matter if it is the Y-pipe or some other component.
