Is this dangerous?

[amalventano1 at tds.net (Allyn)]

I'd suspect paint rubbing as well as discoloration from heat, though it
looks like it wouldn't be very tough to either lower the muffler or get the
outlet re-welded to point a bit more downward.  Also, I doubt it would cause
a fire, though you can never be too careful about such things.
