Hot rear tyres with a Top Gear exhaust???

Hi,

I fitted TG back boxes a month or so ago but now when I get out of the car, even after my traffic restricted commute there's a smell of hot rubber from the rear (!). If I feel the tyres the tread is fine but the inside edge is warm to the touch. It must be heat transferred from the exhaust which I'm surprised doesn't have a heat sheild, is this normal or should I be concerned?
 
Thanks, yes it did it with standard boxes but not as bad.

I suppose the tyres can take quite a bit of heat before it becomes a problem, I'll probably just have to drive faster to get some more air flowing!
 
Op are you pleased with the the boxes? How is the sound?

Yes very pleased with the sound, I went for the louder ones and they sound great especially when you put your foot down. There is a bit of a drone at constant speed but for the price I can live with that.
