I had a soft top on it but removed all the windows so it was more like a big bikini top. After 30 minutes of driving to work, I had people scrunching their noses at me wondering what the smell was. I had a pretty good buzz with a queazy stomach as well after that 30 minutes of driving. Full topless was only slightly better. But it closer to the difference you'd experience from smoking 5 cigars instead of 6.

Good point about the sliders. I never even thought about that as being a factor for someone wanting to dump the exhaust in front of the tire.

The only reason I brought it up is because I plan to replace my rockers, so I am adding sliders. So in my case the exhaust that is currently there has to go, but I figured I would point it out just in case someone else thought about doing this and wanted to protect their body with sliders.

Never tried side exits in front of the rear tires, but I would think you could have issues crushing the exhaust since it would have to route under the lowest part of the frame and thus be vulnerable. Street driving or really mild trails shouldn't be a problem, but I know on my truck side exits like that would of been crushed and torn off several times.

I have to be very careful to avoid hitting the pipe when it crosses under the frame. Luckily I have just been doing mild trails, but I have snagged it before. I forgot to mention that part of it.
