I recently got a very bad burn of the exhaust as I got into the car. It was so hot it was like touching the headers directly. Is this normal or could there be something missing.

I feel your pain Bearone. I had a 900 Kawasaki back in the mid 70's for a while. Had a funny noise one day and I squatted down to listen. Lost my balance backwards and reactively grabbed a handhold.... an exhaust tube... I still do stupid things at times but never did that again.
You bet, absolutely love the look and the sound is not bad, definitely gives it a unique rumble. As soon as I was done installing them I looked at them and said " yep gonna have to be careful here". You really need to keep it in mind when getting in and out after driving, actually had somebody walk up to tell me how nice it looked and got too close and got a littler sizzle.I wish you still had it, so I could buy it to relpace the one I had! (I'm close to pulling the trigger on a Z900RS)
I have leathers with holes burned through from riding SS bikes all my life. No scars on my leg, but too many burns to count.
So much different on a C3. I'm guessing, once the skin touches the side pipes.....you're kinda buggered as far as jumping away is concerned?
Feel for you OP.
