Almost none at this point. Most exhausts are stainless so IMO its not a huge deal. Of course heat transfer through SS is pretty bad, so that is a concern.
I don't know where I'd place it yet. Obviously the closer to the engine the more available power and less need to insulate the exhaust. In the environmental aspect of it, you'd not want to rob heat from the CAT though.

i was meaning extend the shaft, than put another one on, and drive that?that way original one still cools the alt?
Could you not route a pipe inside the exhaust to heat the water?
I see what you say about the cat, just depends how much water you want to heat?
