The exhaust is pretty cool by the time it reaches the resonator and with all
the air surrounding the area I don't think there's any reason for concern
unless the resonator rubs through the gas tank.
Heated gas? Cars run better with cool gas/air as the charge is denser.
That's why they make cooler cans using ice and also to prevent detonation.

Subject: Preheated Gasoline?
> Hey folks. A quick question that will either ease my mind or make me do
something. My resonator rubs somewhat against my gas tank. It is
noticeable most when I first start up the car and let it idle a bit. I do
plan on replacing my entire exhaust system, but that is one of a number of
things I plan on doing over the next year. My question is:

> A) Is there enough heat emitted from the resonator to cause me to worry.
And B) Does preheating the gas give me any extra benefits? :)
