Here you can see how it fits between the exhaust. There is plenty of clearance, so heat should not be a concern. Besides, there is a constant stream of air passing under the car while it is moving, which cools the exhaust.

Plenty of stick-out for any little movement from the rear end articulation and deflection.

Hopefully you have better luck with The Driveshaft Shop than we did.
