are you wondering if the exhaust can obscure the rear
180 degree circumference? if so, it CAN
unless it is legal to run prod, you cant run it with tail
beyond rear edge of rear tire
most folks get a spare and hack the end off it
this is the best fix currently
be done with it, have spare "Bonn" tail
