Paul,
I wrapped the area with fiberglass matting, the very thick stuff. I had a roll
lying around so I thought I would give it a try to prevent the pipe from
hitting the frame and also as a insulator.
The only problem is I did this on my TR4 which is about 1 to 2 years away from
completion! Dont know if this will work or not. The matting was attached with
stainless steel wire. The mufler system is a Bell stainless.
