I would not worry about bringing an exhaust pipe under the pan many cars did it stock in the 50-60's. You did not say the diameter of the tubing bu you could always flatten it where it goes under the pan. You could also add a deflector attached with clamps or weld one on. If you ever look at a Harley exhaust that's what they do and it's right against your leg or boot..Good Luck
