Rick,
On my Sprite, I run 2" pipes from my header collectors back to oval
Flowmaster mufflers. They are pulled up hard against the floorboards
with a quadruple layer of fiberglass/foli insulation. My floorboards
do not get hot. The fuel and brake lines and the battery cable
nearby are heavily insulated and I've had no problem with those
either. Oh, and the exhaust sounds tolerably quiet at low loads and
idle, but nasty when on it.
My ground clearance is about 3" at the low spots on the collectors
and mufflers. I have 24 ga. stainless steel skid skins mounted on
the low spots. When one takes too many scrapes and wears through, I
just take it off and put another on. I had a batch of them plasma
cut and they've been lasting a couple of years.
