Hi all. Not sure if I'll do this but..... Images showing mockup of what I plan to do: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-5MtS78X7fk8/TxDW4vF7-8I/AAAAAAAAAPY/WZUvmGe-DBI/s720/Cat%252520Position%252520%252526%252520Support.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--LXH13A2CeE/TxDW4taYBKI/AAAAAAAAAPo/aQvIJhiDfM8/s720/Cat%252520Position%2525202.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7JliLll2MOw/TxDW4uGk3LI/AAAAAAAAAPc/5H2cWgu8S6k/s720/Downpipe%252520to%252520Cat%252520%25252090.jpg If 90˚ bend (not shown) about 4" away from tire and shock, is there any great risk of heat damaging tire or shock? (stop and go traffic) I can't see how, but if anyone sees this cat position as a risk (e.g. igniting tall grass), please share your thoughts. Seems to me the perforated shield is there to help prevent that but I'm not sure.
