Looks like there is a ball joint at the muffler where the two exhaust tubes come together.
On my muffler I used slip joints, we found by anchoring the muffler to the engine plate stops shaking the muffler to destruction.

Subject: [HKS-engines] Re: HKS700E Exhaust one more thingI cannot tell from the photo if you have any flexible joints in the exhaust pipe between
the engine and the muffler and if you dont the vibration of the HKS will work to
fatigue the exhaust system and cause a failure somewhere. The Rotax engines
and others had some clever ball joint connections held together by strong springs
that absorbed vibration and engine movement etc. if you need any ideas .... or could
possibly cut out these joints and add them in to your system. Strangely I've never
seen anything similar on motorcycles.
