Yeah, but if your exhaust is getting that hot, then you had better worry about that long before you worry about fuel delivery. That could start a fire!!

I agree that your cats are probably toast, and you have a serious exhaust blockage.

Don't ignore that problem, it will only get worse, and by worse I mean your local fire chief will have a story to tell at the dinner table. Every once in a while somebody down here in FL will park a car like that on high, dry grass and 10 minutes later there's no car left.
