Mine came out the bottom at about a 45 degree angle and they were about a half inch from the front bottom corner where the firewall meets the bottom of the fusalage. Look at http://www.engalt.com/engine.htm at the third picture down. I never had any problems with it. Obviously, the further the better, but you do get a lot of exit air flow around the exhaust that keeps the heat away.

The exhaust pipes are touching the bottom of the fuselage. I know that is not acceptable. How much clearance do I need?
