Hi Robert,
Now that the rear bumper guard is off the car, you can get a better view of just how close the muffler is to the foam panels.
This panel survived a 400 mile run to LaCross and back on a 95°F day. If you look closely, you will notice that there is no softening of the foam at all in this location.
You can also make out the slight curvature of the foam to get more clearance with the muffler, including the bottom side of the panel.
Same picture at a slightly different angle.
No problems with heat even with only an 1" air gap. Fiber glass batting could be used to lower temperatures even more.
Jim.
