Something to consider is that you can have the pipe visible by running it along the length of the sideskirt (you'll probably want to remove the sideskirt to replace that whole length with pipe, since you'll barely clear the ground otherwise), or by going until the point where the stock y pipe ends and where the stock midpipe begins, then bending out towards the front of the rear axle. This would eliminate some issues with the paint melting, but then you're introducing more bends into the exhaust, which is never a good thing.

This would probably look a lot like the AC/Shelby Cobra.

You can also have the long tubes end right behind the front axle, which might be easier to manage than running a length of tubing that far back into the car, where it was designed to go straight through the middle until you get to the rear exit. Less heat transfers to the car, and you'll not have much exposed pipe, although it still brings the issue of cooking whatever is along that path, like brake lines, clutch lines, other fluid lines, etc.
haha youre making this sound like more work and heartache than fun. worst case i'll just cut the fckin mufflers off and put 2.5" pipes in there place and literally have straight pipes lol theres more noise, same heat level, and not alot of R&D time lol
