Default Exhaust tips to close rear bumper?

I have installed new exhaust tips during the winter and I plan on taking the Formula out for the first ride in a couple of days so I would like to know what you think about it, if it´s to close to the rear bumper and it will start to melt?

Give your opinion and experience!

My tips don't ever get that hot that you cant touch them. I have double walled ones though. I say start it and let it idle with you hand on them and see how hot it gets. Obviously when they start to warm up and get hot take your hand off so you don't burn yourself, but mine never got that hot.
