I wondered about using my aero diffuser under my rear bumper as a platform for tiles near the muffler. There is a lot of heat back there, but not the supper heat of the exhaust header and CAT. I thought of it after reading that BMW was experimenting with electricity generation using the muffler end of the exhaust system.

That is not the power generation capacity of the unit.
They are also pretty good coolers. Verry inefficient but very compact. For evey 5 Joules of energy you put in to it, it sucks 1 joule of energy from one side to the other side. So you have 1J of thermal energy sucked from one side and 6j of thermal energy pushed out the other side.
