Thats not always true, I had a custom cat back made with the tip well out of the back end and it still gets hot enough to melt the bumper. As far as the carbon build up on the back of the car, get used to it cause its gonna happen as long as you dont have a cat catchin all that crap comin out.

It is a scientific fact that cardom residue on your rear valance will make your car faster. The carbom build up creates an inverse vacuum above the exhuast, and this leads to greater back pressure and increased fuel and air flow. On average, the carbon effect creates an extra 3 hp.
