I think it overheated because you didn't remove the solid lower panel. It had nothing to do with the muffler, unless exhaust gas was blowing directly onto a plastic part. Even then, it would have had to be a pretty bad leak. Honestly, I can't believe in all the mechanic work you claim to do, you didn't foresee that as an issue. It's kind of like putting a board in front of the grille on a car and thinking it won't overheat.
You do have trouble staying on topic in your threads.
