Thanks for the input guys. Switching fans is not an option since i still have AC condenser behind. I also worry about melting it esp near waste gate arm and flapper side since that area is not shielded. The fan quality is high and electrical motor is shielded with metal bracket. Keeping fingers crossed.

AC Fan will be wired to switch on when ever passenger is on. Stock down-pipe is heat wrapped.
