IMO exhaust pointing up towards anything is a bad idea, but that's just me. I would think bags are made to take heat being most of them are close to any exhaust system. But I haven't seen any exhaust pointing directly at a bag either. Hopefully someone else can answer your question for you if they have a similar setup.

I think you will be fine. The end of the muffler looks like its 8-10 inches away from the bags.

don't worry, it's like 18" from the bag, I don't even think the bag will get warm.
