Seriously, couldn’t they just extend the tube a bit so it overhangs the exhaust pipe???

      I personally don’t want any part of the engine casing sticking out during a crash, but maybe that’s just me.

      This section isn’t on an easy to replace cover.

        You can plainly see that there’s plenty of other material sticking out much further than any 1cm extension. If you were in a crash that ate through all that material first, I’m sure the engine casing would be the least of your worries.
