ok so to get this straight. the soot is just a fact of life for a modded FD. The melting pretty much has to do with keeping the bumper and the exhaust away from each other and if I am worried about it get a heat shield.
RB makes a kick *** exhaust that is fairly quiet and sedate looking. PFS makes an exhaust that is slightly louder. I think I am going with the PFS.
If I wanna shoot flames (which i don't) I need to run rich and hope that it ignites on the way out the tailpipe and definitely keep it far away from the bumper to prevent melting.
Thanks for the help thus far guys. Keep the info/opinions coming

As for the soot, it's just something you'll have to clean when cleaning your car. It's not a big deal.

No it's not Turbo'd
Uh, No Flamage with a Cat on there.... Cat Will Supress all flame due to its design as a gas burner, which is basically wat flamage is is unburnt gas making it into the exhaust and getting ignited by the heat and oxygen in the exhaust...

you guys running the bigger exhaust, how far from the bumper are you keeping them?
I am leaning towards the PFS, although I am gonna try to gather more info on the RSR exhaust.
