Default hot pipes

Here's my 2012 Ultra Limited pipe after 1000 miles now you can't tell me this ain't hot look at the back cylinder compared to the front. My flange nuts on the heads look like new on the front and they were burnt to crisp on the back and I'm thinking the culprit lies right where the back head pipe collects. I think I'm gonna have to shoot that cat that's been crawling around on my bike!! Any and all comments welcome.

That ain't right. I have few friends that never removed their cats and none of the heat shields look any different than new.
That can't be just the cat causing that.
