Anyone with info on excessive heat in the trunk?? Have a low miileage original 95 trans am rag top and can not put much in the trunk due to excessive heat from the exhaust. Had a trusted GM mechanic check and there are no heat shields missing--- Only use it in the summer of course. Exhaust and car are in great shape (40,000 miles) Send me a reply if you know

If the car is original and in good mechanical shape with no check engine lights, no excessive heat from a partially clogged converter. and not missing heat shields.
You can take a aftermarket approach to the problem and coat the trunk pan with Dynamat. http://www.dynamat.com/
You could also wrap the muffler and intermediate piping in header wrap.

I suspect you may be running the vehicle too lean. you would need to put the car on a 4 or 5 gas analyzer to know for sure if the idle and off idle air fuel ratios are correct.

Nothing wrong with the car. Yes it is all original and I am an old "fart" when it comes to muscle cars etc. Just wondered if anyone else had run into this problem? I know how to modify/ resolve the problem come springtime. Thanks
