Bending exhaust?

I just realized after changing the tires that the muffler is solidly bolted to the swingarm. How can it bend with every bump without breaking prematurely? Seems like kind of a bad/cheap design...

The engine the header is bolted to is on the swing with every bump in the road, not a traditional swing arm on scooters... follow the engine mount bolts and you will see that (bracket) is not a swingarm

Engine, wheel and exhausts are all one unit. That's the principal of most normal scooters. Excellent packaging but high unsprung weight.
