If you scrape either one of the can options, you have to expect damage. With the V2 muffler style it seems like most people have no issues as the lowers part of the mufflers sit pretty much inline with the rear axle/tires. I will double check with Tony to make sure I am not missing something about the CF mufflers...
I never said you have to be less careful. Please reread the statement you quoted.

All I'm trying to point out is that between the two materials one cracks under sufficient pressure and the other is more likely to bend under the same load.

I suppose the argument would be something along the lines of "When is that ever gonna happen?". Probably never, but like I said before, it's just for peace of mind (personally; the OP can do whatever he pleases).
