Hey guys,

Fitted a diffuser to my car over the weekend and the exhaust tip fowls against it. After a bit of 're jigging I now have around 5mm clearance and some reflective heat tape over the bodywork.

My question is is this enough? Or should I lower the exhaust mounts to be safe?

That'll be fine. Unless you are spitting flames constantly. Mine touches.
It only produced a little pop of flame on the dyno. So should be ok.

The diffuser is pretty solid no flex at all.
