Custom exhaust clearance "tunnel"

Well, the worst of the rust on my Z is centered around where the driver's side 'frame rail' terminates into the floor of the car under the seat, and it extends out to the rocker panel in front of the rear tire. In cutting out the rust, I looked under and saw that I could see the exhaust in the trans tunnel. And, so, I got this idea: Glasspack in trans tunnel, alongside trans. Instead of repairing floor pan to stock, fab up a small 'tunnel' and turn the exhaust 90 deg to come out in front of the rear tire in the rocker panel.

 

 

Any reason why this would be a bad idea?

Anybody that ever run side pipes will tell you the exhaust exiting that close to the door is a PITA sitting still with the windows down. All that exhaust and heat rools right in the window. I did that on my '70 AMX but took them off after only a month. Looks cool, sounds cool, but its tough to live with if you plan on driving in city traffic.
