As Barry mentioned, the often forgotten gas tank vent lines (front and back) join into one 5/8" steel pipe where they cross right over the drivers side muffler. At either end of this short section of steel pipe is a hose (one right angle hose into the rear fender cavity and the other end has a short straight hose joining the outlet of the vent tee). I'd be more worried about a petrol leak there contacting the muffler. Anyway I had to replace it all on my car as the rubber sections were disintegrating.
Agree the exhaust is a bit cooler by the time it gets to the muffler ..but many of us have fitted exhaust socks/wrap on the pipes behind the rockers so that heat has been elevated somewhat for the rear exhaust system.
Jaime; a) please post a few pictures of your garage/cars. b) with that many classics how long is your car maintenance "to do" list!?
