During my latest routine check when changing my wheels (Winter to Summer), I didn't notice anything abnormal. Clearance seemed OK - all still seemed well-connected. But, true, the exhaust system was not as hot as after a 'spirited' Autobahn run.

I may run a quick check next time at some exit of the Autobahn (though a bit complicated to spot anything, even when crawling a bit under it, as the car sits already low).

Don't underestimate the degree of heat flowing through the system when the car is seriously pushed.
