I think no, the exaust is just under the upper control arms and there is enough space between them.

Where are your radiator outlets? The side pods seem to merge with the upper deck of your diffuser.... without any obvious route for the air to escape after its been through the radiators????

I was wondering the same thing. (like you havent done enough already)
but an x-ray view of the innards and inner flow panels would be nice to
see.
Ive been wondering too if the heat of the exaust has an effect on the
swirl of the aero package, thus making their placement crucial.

Yes, you cant see the radiator outlets because there is non. But I am working on that.
