One argument for forbidding NASCAR racers from routing the exhaust to the rear was essentially the same rationale.
In long lines of traffic on the track the exhaust would be sequestered within the ganged-wakes,concentrating as you moved further down the train of cars.
Without the dilution of the side slipstream,the gases could reach dangerous levels for the drivers.
I believe that all cars have exhaust to the driver's 'right',and open window ventilation on their 'left'.
