Default Anyone use FLEXPIPE for exhaust?

I have ample access to 4 and 5 inch exhaust where I work and was wondering if anyone has used it on their cummins? I know on semi trucks I use it lots but theres big brackets and stuff that support entire system to frame and under our trucks there isnt many brackets. im just wondering if the flexpipe will rattle to **** or not? I was wanting to use it in place of the Catylic Converter? Has anyone used it in place of the muffler?

I used 2 4" clamps and on the rear I used a hanger/bracket bolted to the frame for support, I got that at NAPA

That reminds me I need to cut out a section of pipe and put a piece of flex pipe in there. Having solid pipe all the way up to the turbo is bad when you drive up and down logging roads. I've had to retighten the clamp at the turbo several times cause it comes loose.
