Default exhaust dumps, fumes?

hey guys got another question regarding my 4 to 8 swap. i got a complete exhaust setup off a gt and i have a lx. my problem is one it seems the gt tailpipes are bent differently, and of course they dont have the polished tips.2 i have to change the rear brake hose because its in the way of the tailpipe, my question is you guys that are dumping before the rear, do you get fumes inside the car? with windows up or down? i dont mind if its louder. thanx

i had a 91lx converted too and I used a dr gas x pipe and dumps right before the axle. Seemed to work ok. Didn't smell anything in the car. assumeing your car isn't full of holes. Then you will end up alittle loopy driveing in traffic.

It more depends on your tolerance with fumes too I guess and if you will have kids with you and what not.

You will experience more fume's. Replacing the weather stripping will do wonder's though.
