Pulled in my garage and check under car for leaks after my ride and the rear bumper was too hot to leave my hand on it for more than a second. I shot the rear bumper under the backup light with my infrared heat sensor and got 126 degrees on drivers side, passenger side 115 degrees. The muffler itself was 227 degrees and cat was 304 degrees.
So here's my question, is this what is considered normal? The muffler is stock and sits only a few inches away from the bumper just like any other 911. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Wait until you touch the passenger side front fender after a 35 mile drive...
Or better yet, drive through a small puddle and get steam billowing out from the wheel well!
