I just had a stock Muffler put in my 96 850 Turbo wagon and the pipe looks a little too close to the driver side rear tire. I'm concerned it's going to transfer too much heat to the tire since it's only about half an inch away and I believe it could get closer when it moves around or maybe with loaded suspension. What do you guys think would be a good measurements to have between the tire and the pipe? I don't know about other turbo exhausts but my experience with the stock one is that the last part of the pipe is surprisingly hot
