Thoughts? Did originals have this feature? Just thinking out loud here....

Some seemed to, whether they were customer mods or not.
I'd suspect with hood scoops, radiater air, etc. there would be enough to force it, and some exhaust heat, down and out.
The other possible option would be some foil shielding on the interior, around the pipes outlet. Pretty much sight unseen but a layer of protection.
I've seen some cases of heat degradation in the area but no way of knowing if it's at all frequent in anything other than big HP motors or misaligned exhaust.
