driverside floor pan gets hot while dring

For some reason my driverside floor pan area gets rather hot while driving long distances and I cant seem to figure out why I've dynomatted the complete interior in the car and still have the problem.I almost wonder if it has to do with the slp headers I have on the car any help would be great thanks!

Do you have longtube headers? any exhaust leaks?

I have longtube headers into true duals, they floors will get "warm" but not hot. Before I had the pipes on (i.e. open headers) they floors would get hot.

it gets warm basically feel it down by shoes/bottom of pant area no exhaust leaks and the 2-3/4 short not long tube so I guess with headers its normal for floor area to be warmer then usual

Yeah, I would just check your clearances on things, make sure nothing is melting anywhere.

Other than that it's just par for the course

you could wrap your exhaust to eliminate the problem
