The exhaust looks great. Do you have a heat shield above the muffler? I think I have the same muffler (with no heat shield) and it got hot enough to start melting the carpet after five or six hours on the interstate.
My exhaust is similar...I need some extra heat protection above the muffler and where the exhaust pipe crosses by the transfer case...
I kept all the factory heat shields in place and so far everything has seemed fine. We did two solid days of driving 8-10 hours and so far the carpet has held up so I think it's okay. I didn't exactly inspect the rear floor area but the carpet looks fine. I did put my hand down on the floor near the cats multiple times and didn't feel any sort of excess heat so everything seems pretty good.
