I wouldn't say that a fire potential is total BS. I recently got a parts car with a 3.2 . The motor was leaking oil so I pulled the stainless exhaust off for my 3.0 . Fired the motor up while it was on my lift and after it ran for about 10 minutes the exhaust caught on fire and was throwing flames up into the heater vent. Apparently oil had puddled in the heater box and once it hot hot enough it started on fire. Luckily I had an extinguisher handy.
