Regardless of the type of motor mounts, when the chassis flexes and twists, the relationship between the mounting points changes (those points being the header to head and the sidepipe to frame). The harder you drive the more the frame twists and the more the pipes are stressed.

Rubber mount the sidepipes and there's a place for some "give".
Solid mount the pipes and the pipes do the "giving".
