Not a good thing to leave the exhaust exit under the floor boards on an old and rust rig or while riding with the windows down. There should be an alternate solution that will work just as well.

Well I rlly dont mind if theres, exhuast oder, I ride with the windows down 85% of the time anyways, I was just wondering about the gas tank, ppl run with a turn down right after the muffler, so I dont see it being that bad, as its set back further, and not dumbed out right under the seats
