Default twin turbo downpipes

I'm trying to figure out where to run downpipes off my twin 76's. Was thinking of running 3" off each one and out the front bumper with no mufflers. This seems to be the easiest routing of downpipes and looks pretty cool too! I've seen some cars with this done but would like to see some more. Please post some pics if you have any!

What are the negatives of this besides making the car dirty?

Thanks in advance!

Your car will stink of exhaust. Run them under, I use one 3" for each turbo with no flow issues.

Is this a street car at all? If so I'd highly suggest not going that route...even as badass as that is. First you won't pass inspection....if you do you're gonna be a ticket magnet. It will make your whole car a mess in a hurry as well.

Exhaust must exit the rear or side of vehichle. If it exits the side it has to be behind the doors. If you know something different let me know....maybe I can get a couple of my tickets overturned lol.

I didn't know it had to be behind the doors. It's all how the mechanic interprets the laws...I had a guy tell me it only had to exit the vehicle and he didn't see why it wouldn't pass that way. This will be far from a dd so I'm not really too concerned about it. I have been thinking of doing the exhaust behind the doors also, maybe big oval tubing.....
