theyre usually welded inline with the rest of the exhaust piping, you are going to need some extremely soft bushings in the mounts, or it could rattle the mounts loose or worse yet crack the exhaust piping. flex pipes are designed to absorb the excess vibrations and bucking of the engine so that it doesnt get transfered directly to the mounting hardware. With the hood open, stand and watch the motor and have a friend start your car up, you'll see the motor bucks a ****-ton when the car is started up. personally i wouldnt remove a flexpipe just because you will likely have other exhaust related issues down the road.
