Floor pan temperature? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm in the middle of installing new carpet in my truck. I've got the old vinyl flooring and padding out, but am waiting for the carpet to arrive.

I've noticed that the floor pan gets hot under the seat - it even melted a spray can lid into a puddle.

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this before and if it's something to be worried about. As far as I can tell the exhaust is the normal distance away from the floor. I can try to take a picture of the exhaust tonight if it would help.

Any wisdom?
