This is a common result of such mods. Fabricate a metal shield and fasten it between the muffler and the body. Don't let it touch the muffler.

I agree with Sallie about moving fwd an inch then reversing again.  Also you should make sure the brake is fully pressed and the car is completely stopped before you engage R.
