I think Tom is assuming that sewer-grade plumbing would be used, not
typical downspout crap. With how easy it is to assemble and glue PVC
or ABS, this is a very reasonabe assumption.

Well, now that you mention it, it does seem OK to do that--after all,
other waste pipes go inside walls, so why not storm drains?

Maybe the real problem is the outside connection with the gutter system,
although I suppose it should be possible to connect that securely too.
