If the plywood does not make contact with the exhaust pipe, it might become discolored, perhaps even sooty. It should not catch on fire while on top of the Curt Cargo Carrier, part # C18110. We usually recommend an exhaust tip if you want to make sure there are no unintended consequences while carrying the plywood. You could add something like the MagnaFlow 3" Exhaust Tip - Stainless, Weld-On for 3" Tailpipe, part # MF35180. These get welded on your exhaust pipe to direct the exhaust downward.

I have included a product description link and weblink to our exhaust tips below.
