Question about side exit exhausts

So ive been searching for the past while and only came about one thread on this..

Im a fan of the side exit exhaust (flame suit on..) My only concern with it is any black soot getting all over my side skirt. My balt is silver so it will show like a ****. So i guess my question is, how are you guys with side exits dealing with this? Do you have a problem with it or no? Does it wash off easily? Possibly clear bra the side skirt? lol?

You know they're crazy loud right? Other than that just make sure to wax that area extra good and give it a quick wipedown with some detailing spray every few days. You'll be golden.

Yeah i know they're loud lol. I like that, and i would love to hear the turbo a little bit more And my previous car was a mazda rx8, and i had a catless midpipe and holy Sh*t that thing was insanely loud. I miss the sound of my rotary..

But just a good wax on that spot, and detailing spray doesnt sound too bad at all. Thanks!!

I bought cmiller's side exit with a magnaflow bullet muffler for 150 shipped. It sounded pretty awesome on his car and I can't wait to hear it on mine.

I paid $85 at a local exhaust shop. Just had him bend it up and weld it onto my DP. It's really simple if they know what they r doing

this you do not want to do. Most exhaust shops do not have a mandrel bender so ask. But if you find a shop that does then your golden.
