Default Feet are burning up!

I've been noticing lately, the drivers footwell on my vette getting unusually hot.

To where my feet get very uncomfortable hot. I had my girlfriend feel down there and she said the footwell felt warm as well.

I'm wondering if this is my drivers side cat starting to go.

I have not noticed any glowing.

There's a clothlike material used by welders that you can cut and shape however you like and apply it to the existing heat shield with rivets. It withstands temps of 1500 + degrees...............It's kept my feet cool for a number of years now.
