Yes, I've got maybe 25-30 miles so far. I'm fighting a moderate oil leak at the moment from what I suspect is a crank position sensor that's slowly failing... but that's another story.

The muffler clearance is tight, but I don't see any signs of interference or heat getting into the bumper skin. I'll keep an eye and update after I've got a few more miles.

I'm not overly concerned about heat from the muffler getting into the transmission. Yes, there will be some... but I'm skeptical that it's enough to be concerned about. I might add a phenolic spacer of sorts at a later time. TBD.
