Don't mount mufflers too close to the floorpan

I just popped the rear seat bottom out of an 87/88 TC and this is what I found. The hole in the bottom of the rear seat is about six inches deep. That HAD to smell. Unbelievable.

Non stock mufflers? I know the stockers(some at least) have heat shields.

It's got stock looking exhaust on it now that looks okay, but who knows what was on it before. Both sides were like that, but the pass side was worse. It looks like they were only miles away from possibly burning up the entire car. I've pulled a lot of rear seats out of TCs and I have never seen anything even close to that before. Scary stuff.
