The biggest problem, they blow chunks (black sooty spots) all over everything ...
That happens no matter where the exhaust dumps, low or high, up or out, don't matter, if they get water in them it's even worse. The only way to prevent this is pointing them to the ground!
Personally, I deal with it, I don't park next to anything I care about and I wash my truck!
Some like them or don't for the cab noise they can generate if improperly done.

Since mine are straight cut, i get sooty water blowing out occasionally... If you have turnouts (or raincaps) you probably won't have that...
It doesn't bother me.
Total cost for my stacks was about $90...built myself

mine is a one of a kind from my dads shop, ceramic coated and custom lettering and images. You can see it in my pics. Total cost out of pocket for materials mine and my dads was about 200. When he sells stacks similar in nature to mine, they go for around 500-750 and duals is about a grand but it depends on what you want. His guarantee is the main reason people stick with him. i think the single most expensive part was the 4" to 5" expander, cost about 65 bucks.
