First fire ups, the motor runs hotter than normal. period. I always put shop fans pointing at the body exits during engine break-in when the motor was in a cobra, it only took cooking one custmer car's paint to learn that one. After engine break-in, you should be fine, so long as the sidepipes aren't really close to the paint, which from the picture, looks like it is not a problem.
