Subject: Moving muffler to belly

I've had the plane down for a few weeks making several changes. I would like to move my muffler out of the cowl to the airframe belly. How much space should I leave between the top of the muffler and bottom skin? My exit fairing hangs down about 5" below the airframe. What have others done for heat shielding \ paint protection? Since the floor pans are installed any riveting will have to be with blind rivets. Don't really want to put a bunch of extra holes in the skin for this experiment. Any advice or pictures would be appreciated.
 
Thanks,
