I'm no scientist, but I'd say it's because stock or other aftermarket exhaust are heavy and any flexing with that much weight would cause cracking. This being as light as it is, ride height and Road conditions play a part in going with the y-pipe or not.
Usually something this light won't create any vibrations large enough to need flex pipes. Also, titanium does not expand as much as steel does when heated.

A couple of my best friends have the Tomei exhaust on their Evo Xs. My one buddy has had it on for almost 2.5 years and his car is a DD in Los Angeles with no issues at all (this includes the titanium test pipe and down pipe). The Tomei exhausts are quality products for sure!
