If Borla were to make a side exit exhaust, who would buy one?

Really? Yet numerous guys on here do Magnaflow Systems.
I just installed this last night. Fits perfect and sounds great.

Side exit exhaust
This is easy to install on any exhaust system. Any decent muffler shop can fabricate a 90 degree bend and install it at the end of the exhaust, with your tip of choice. I would look for a dual wall, semi insulated tip for under the body fender.
This is a good idea too. As several people have said here, it brings the tip close to the wheel where it's less likely to drag and sends the fumes away from the tail of the truck where they get sucked up the backside. If the back window is open, exhaust will come in with any tail exit exhaust.

A V6 oriented engine is among the worst sounding out there...straight 6, flat 6, v8, v10, v12 - these are all pleasant sounds which can be nicely enhanced but the V6 is just a workman engine designed to just work. Its blue jeans and a t-shirt.

I think your trying to be a troll. You sound dumb when you say things like that. What's a v6 oriented engine? It's a v6 or it isn't. It could be longitudinally or horizontally oriented... Maybe that's what you meant? That would have no bearing on how it sounds of course. Lots of v6 engines sound great. The 350z comes to mind as the first example I could think of. Oh have you heard that new jag v6 in the f-type s? I cream my pants a little when I hear it. I will agree that other cylinder configurations sound good, but that's entirely dependent on the exhaust system. My buds viper sounds like a tractor. My other friends porsche sounds.... Like a tractor. That's a v10 and a flat 6. Of course my other buddies gallardo sounds amazing, as does his 997 turbo.. Again a v10 and a flat 6. As far as a v6 being a workman engine... I'm pretty sure that a Chevy or ford v8 is the most common work truck engine ever.

V6 meaning the block in the shape of a V of course. It just doesn't sound great, particularly in this application. Flat 6 and straight 6 does sound good so it's not about the cylinders in this case its about the orientation. A mediocre sound and minimal HP gains make this not a value for dollar modification.

I have had the Borla for a few weeks now and love it. It's quiet And sounds great, so good my wife has yet to say a word about it. Why not just buy it and have the muffler shop put the necessary bend in the back piece? Or have them make a side exit pipe? If the goal is the sound and performance that all comes from the muffler anyways. Just a thought.
