However, if your running real rich or cold starting, AND have short exhaust tips, AND didn't wash it often, I'm sure you could stain the paint in some way...kinda like cigarettes on teeth.

The other things to keep in mind are; that style exhaust runs OUTSIDE the fender, has NO crossover, and is limited to bullet mufflers. You can use a similar exit without using the entire style of exhaust, but the "J-Turn" to get the exhaust through the side is tricky.....the actual layout of things results in some tighter bends than are ideal. When I re-do it in mandrel, we are trying to take some of the sharp turns out of the path. Also, it drones a LOT on the hwy.

Do you think it drones a lot because is bouncing off the rear fender. I'm going fleet side. Wondering if it will cause a problem. The heat has no effect to the paint so far?
