There is different location for the Muffler you might consider. Under the
passenger compartment.

Subject: TIICO: Is Muffler Heatshield Used?

Hey all you TIICO'ers...

I'm concerned about heat from the muffler affecting the belts since there is
not much space between them.  Has anyone put a heatshield between the engine
and the muffler/cat?  Is there some way to use the original heat shield?

Thanks,
