Trunk area above muffler getting warm

Car: 1986 300E (W124)

The area above the muffler in my trunk is getting warm after a 20 - 30 minute drive. I just replaced the muffler and pipe which were rusted and in spite of them being replaced, it is still getting warm. The heat shield above the muffler is present and intact (not rusted).

Is it normal for that area to get warm of am I looking at other issues.

Thx.
