Not to sound cynical but its an exhaust it expels heat amongst other things so it will be hot for a while its normal dont worry and i definitely wouldn't touch it after your done driving ..

Well theres a difference The stock exhaust is covered by exhaust tips where aftermarket solutions dont have a seperate exhaust tip.

it's not a big problem at all. All you have to do is loosen up the bolts, tweak it a little and then re-tighten. If all fails, use monster zip ties to get it where you want it.
