Also, I think, there is a risk of corrosion from exhaust gasses lingering under the bed.

In the big picture..... My ride? It's not highly detailed. It has flaky paint & some rust. I don't care about dust stirring under the bed/body from the dumped exhaust.
I head to a local gathering of enthusiasts. The ground @ the parking lot is dusty & dirty. I pull though the lot dusting the path traveled as I go. Everyone in close proximity gets the fall-out. Those w/nice detailed/painted rides & the people standing/walking around checking out everyone's efforts. It's goes on their rides in in their lungs/eyes.
Just a different perspective. You can embrace it or ignore it but it happens.
I don't like being that guy. I try to plan/build my exhaust exits to minimize impact on others.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
