I'm curious if you're planning some kind of heat shield for that mount strut that runs between the exhaust pipes... or maybe several layers of exhaust tape... something to keep some of that heat away anyhow?  Looks scary to me, especially when you consider that those exhaust tubes will likely be glowing red at full throttle.  Just a thought.
