I take it you have never heard the side exhaust in person..... Its a bit loud...... People seem to only temporarily run it... then sell it. Not to mention the clearance issues it causes.

clearance is not an issue, you can get oval piping that takes a 2.5" pipe to 1.75" high
run a good resonator and muffler and do it properly and it won't be any louder than anything else on the market. if space is a concern you can install the resonator on the downpipe and put a long bullet muffler where the resonators usually are
there's ways to do almost anything, but it takes some sincere thought and 42 braincells. you can't just say hey i'll replace the resonator with a muffler and bend the pip so it runs out the side and it's gonna be FTMFW!

1.75'' below the factory body is still a clearance issue... If you are lowered forget about it.

not 1.75" below the side skirts silly goose, 1.75" under the car, the side skirt edges hang down further but no reason to get into semantics, so you win, 1.75" thick exhaust is too low for anyone to use.

its not too low to use, its just not practical. If someone made a beveled sideskirt for a sidepipe it would bring it up a bit. I know the cars a drivable with the side exit. Its just not for everyone.
