My floor is very hot on the passenger side right where the header bends under the firewall. Is this much heat normal or could my pipe be too close?

I have two layers of that Lowes alumn. bubble insulation on it but man, it's hot.

Thoughts?

I know I am going to mix my own lizzard skin this winter, I just havet o find out what is the best paint to use on the floor instead of Ceramic as I don't want to prime/paint/then paint the skin on.

 

How close is the header to the firewall? Consider ceramic headers or a header wrap.

 

show us a picture of that. I believe it to be abnormal. never had a hot floor

 

Maybe your exhaust temps are high due to a lean condition?
If not, maybe fiberglass insulation between the header and floor will help?

 

I'll try to get pics in the next day or two.
