Well if you look up front you will notice I put a cross over tube up front . So about the mufflers under the floor thing here is how i look at that.
1) It's ceramic coated so that reduces radiant heat produced by 30%
2) I doubled up the sound deadner in advance on the floor
3) I placed underlay matting under the entire floor

Part of the choice to put the muffler where it is....was based on where i placed the two battery boxes on my frame rails. But right abouve the muffler on the floor there is the floor stiffner that has a big lip on it. If I find it's noisey there is enough room to put a shield in over it for both sound and heat.

I will let you know how that all works out but in theory it should all be good....lol
Yeah, I am really interested in how it performs.
I herculinered the interior of my cab, sound deadner, and floor matting all up under the carpet I put in too.
Thanks for the info, I am probably going to ask about this again later....
