The only thing that is likely to cause a cat and muffler to get "very, very
hot" (even red-hot in extreme cases) is an engine that is running EXTREMELY
rich.  Any shop with emissions testing equipment can identify if this is the
case.  If it is, you will likely ruin your brand new cat in no time if you
don't identify the cause (often something as simple as an 02 sensor or temp
sensor) and correct it.
