Hot Passenger Compartment

If you have a cat converter on, there should be a heat shield on the cat, and a shield bolted to the car above the cat, as it can run up to 1800*. My '89 came factory with shields all around the header pipe all the way back to the cat. This was to keep the passenger compartment cooler. I believe all these parts are still available from the dealer, and wrecker yard too.
