I'm guessing you only get those kinda of temps in the manifold and a little further down? (seeing as though my car does after fire every once in a while)

You mean backfire?

It's my understanding that backfire is an explosion through the intake manifold/carb

Afterfire occurs through the exhaust

are you guys serious?? Ive seen countless rear bumpers melted, and yes on a hot summer day it can very well get up to 500*+, the manifold can get around 1300*f.

because the end of your exhaust is where the gas tank is

Question is... I know heat+gasoline=bang, but does the back end of the exhaust create enough heat to cause a problem with touching the gas tank.

The resulting ground clearance would be cantankerous, though.

P.S. I hate the exhaust tow hook

Well under the influence of a purple rain, I guess I read the question wrong. But I still hold my case that Exhaust pipes + gas tank = bad,
