Serves a couple purposes:

1. During the fabricating process, flanges may more slightly during welding. With the flex section, you can still bolt the pipe up to both headers, even if something moved a little.

2. During operation, the exhaust heats up and cools and pipes expand and contract, so the flex helps prevent cracking as you mentioned.

Thanks to everyone else for the compliments.
