    Doubt it. The location of hot cats below engine is largely the culprit. Any fuel line compromise and it starts a fire. It would require a redesign and or using more expensive materials in cats like titanium for additional cooling. My guess is no real serious changes.

    Good reason to get any outstanding campaigns done. Can't hurt.

    Those pictures freak me out.
