You can weld it to the hangers, sure. There is a reason that exhaust systems use flexible rubber rings to hold the exhaust to the chassis though. If you weld it you'll get a lot more engine vibration.

What i have done in many Road race cars is use small link chains you can buy at your local hardware store.I have done this many times and have had many success.I do mufflers for a living and i have tried other type of hangers on rotaries and they all melt.
Here are some pictures of our E production SCCA Rx7 FC.....This is an exhaust system i built for this car check it out....

PLEASE someone do this to a street car. I +1 Renton's idea of welding the exhaust to the frame
I have a feeling that any stiff metal connection between the frame and the exhaust will vibrate so loudly it may mask the exhaust noise. Take that coppers!

You can also try using radiator hose clamps for exhaust hangers. Zipties don't work. Even metal zipties don't work. You can also just try running no exhaust so you don't have to worry about hangers.
