dual exhaust and body squeaks fix

I finally got my suspension all back to normal and working right, and I was still hearing a squeak in the back on turns. It didn't happen on bumps, just turns.

I took a look under the rear, and my dad was nearby and bumped the passenger side exhaust tip. There was the squeak. The problem I had was that the passenger side exhaust was very close to the spare tire compartment and it hit everytime i went around a corner. I cut a piece of wood to fit and put a notch on it. The flat part touches the exhaust, and the notched part slips onto the lip of spare tire compartment. I could grab a pic if that sounds confusing.

Hope this helps someone!

It hasn't burned yet

I really doubt something bad would happen with the placement of the wood. If the exhaust got that hot, wouldn't the hot air melt the rear bumper?

My muffler and tail pipes don't get hot at all even if I drive around all day. There is a little warmth there but not a lot. I can touch my bare hand to the muffler and not get burned.
