Does the exhaust pretty much run next to the frame rail with the fuel tubing? If so, you could be getting heating all along the fuel system and not just in the engine compartment.

Thanks for asking! They're bare metal stainless and they replaced a set of regular steel ones that had become warped and rusty. Also, the exhaust does pretty much follow along the rails with the fuel line (steel) and unfortunately they get closest near the header collector. The truck is lifted 3 inches and the exhaust has nice distance except in the 'pinch' spots of near the collector and along the gas tank where it exits off the side behind the tire.
