Why not?
 
Back in the day it was recommended to fasten the tail end of the exhaust with a spring to an engine mount bar near the firewall to help dampen the vibration of the extended length of the headers from the engine.  My exhaust system has it.
 
The age of the plane is almost 13 years now with nary a problem with the exhaust system since the test period during the first year.

Ed--do not fasten it to the plane.  As your engine settles this will change the angle of the exhaust, if attached to the plane it will rip out or the exhaust will come lose at the end.  The only connection of the exhaust should be directly to the engine and each section of the exhaust to the other exhaust pipes.
