Default Troublemaker help

had a thread a week ago, not 1 response. i have more ?'s so here u go

i heard they are a PITA bc of the positioning of the most forward pipe, and it creates an awkward positioning for your leg, is this true?
there is no heat shield, is there a **** tone of blueing, and do you just wear the blueing with pride or what?
are there any other problems i should look out for with them? ive heard other people say they had them and then got rid of them....
