Rock Guard Under the Muffler

I’m installing a 20 gallon water tank between the drivers side frame rail and the driveshaft. My plan is to have a piece of 10gauge steel bent into a U with an ID of 37 1/2”. I’m planning on sliding that up and bolting it to each frame rail and then installing the tank into the bottom of the U. I’m planning to wrap the tank in an exhaust wrap heat shielding to protect it from the muffler. I’m not sure though if putting a rock guard around the muffler is ok. I’m worried about heat build up from the air not being able to circulate and causing failure in either the muffler or the x-for case. Is this a real concern or am I over thinking it? I’m thinking I could drill some holes into it or even cut out a section if needed.
