Default side dump question

Allright I just cancelled my order for my pacesetter ORY, I got the headers 3 weeks ago and I called Speed Engineering today to find out about the ORY, and they said it was going to be another 2 weeks before they got them then probably another week before I got them. So, I guess I will be getting a custom y made. I am thinking about having them dump the exhaust on the passenger side in front of the rear tire. My only doubt is how bad is the exhaust going to stick to my rim? I have Billet wheels, and it already takes alot of time to keep them clean and polished. I just don't want to do this if it is going to make my wheel look like crap all the time. Plus what about in cab noise. Opinions please!!

My oppinion is it should not affect the wheel. But cab noise might be your prob.

Does the side-exit drone as bad as the dumped setup before the axle?

i've got billet rims and the side exaust and can't tell a difference in the look or time spent polishing of the rear passenger rim from the others; and the sound FOR ME isn't a problem (but im runnin cats and shorty headers)
