Might be wise to purchase a battery powered carbon monoxide detector.

I'm still worried about that wood catching on fire !

Why not leave a gap of at the very least 2 - 3" ? Or better yet not have that wood anywhere near the exhaust !

I looks like it weighs quite a bit for what little gain you may get - even if it is eventually attached to a flat bellypan.
the entire structure tops around 20lbs.
Just taking out my 40lbs subwoofer/box would offset any weight i put on. And I wish there was a way to not have the wood there, but underneath the body is very inconsistent. if i cut into the wood more than it already is, would lose all of the boards structural integrity, + no where else to mount too without drilling/tapping into the metal work. <trying to avoid this as much as possible>

If i come up with something better, it will be done asap! Better safe then sorry
