I was talking about the handle from the gas station pump, when your tank is "full" the handle clicks and stops pumping so it wont overflow.
But if you wait a few moments you can ad some more gas, this would be bad for your EVAP canister.

No I don't think an aftermarket exhaust would heat up your gas much more than stock, at least not if it's routed in the same way which pretty much all are

Pull your oil cap and drive ten miles and tell me what you smell.
