Narrative:
First officer made normal landing runway 32. During landing roll, first officer and I planned to turn left at the end of runway 32. ATC instructed us to 'turn right first available turn.' I was unsure of instructions (cockpit noise from engines in reverse). I requested ATC to 'verify right turn.' by this time we were rapidly approaching N4. The tower said 'right turn' as I recall. We tried but could not safely exit at N4. First officer told tower we would have to exit at the end of runway 32. Tower then instructed aircraft behind us to execute a go around. Supplemental information from acn 456928: during landing roll, I determined I was not going to make taxiway right, so I kept my speed up to expedite clearing the runway.
