CO Searched. Exhaust temp high light info

So today I got my secondary boost issue solved and drove the car around a few to celebrate. I got back home and shut the car off, opened the hood and let the fans runs. I came back a minute later and my exhaust high temp light was on.
Now prior to that I stopped by a friend home to chit chat and let the car cool down, So I opened the hood and let it idle with the fans on. I got back in the car and the trans tunner was hot as F*** I did't get a block away before I started seeing smoke but luckily it was just that.

Now I did search and I found that a clogged cat is a possibility, but when I installed my DP the cat media (honey comb) was in great shape at the time.

there is a sensor in the floor and it turns the light on when the floor is 110c, so sounds like that happened

Either that or something around the cat caught fire or something. Or, something is WAY wrong with the ignition (super fouled plugs, leading coil not firing, plug wires not on right) that is causing massive afterburn.

Or, the cat is now clogged .
