Post engine making too much heat?

i have a 05 TL 5at wid a fujita cai, tb spacer, and catback exhaust. i dont drive that hard that much but everytime, the engine builds a tremendous amount of heat. i can feel heat coming into the car when im driving with my windows down when its cool outside. also the temp guage is in the middle and coolest level is fine. just wondering if this is normal for a TL modded like this or am i missing something here...

with the widows down, the air is flowing around the car and taking the heat from the hood and exhaust and it is flowing into the car.

This is the answer.

And, all cars get heated up like TL, I believe.

Is your air vents open? Perhaps it's just hot air coming in through the vents.......

Make sure your re-circulation button is on.......
