Default Where to fit flexi pipe?

Im getting a flexi pipe to weld in to my exhaust as the speed bumps near me are pulling the turbo from the head everytime the rear silencer strikes the ground. My thought is to weld it in just after it bends under the engine but then whats going to take the weight of the exhaust? The next hanger is near the rear wishbones. What have others done here? Is it magnex that already comes with one?

The following is a 3" AVA/mongoose hybrid fitted with a flexi section. The primary reason for fitment was to relieve stress when used with a tubular manifold.....so far so good!
