Better question is has the car been gutted? Like you said the carpets gone but is the sound deadening material still there? Usually you would take that out as well if removing the carpet for weight reduction. If that is the case then the reason for the heat is that there is nothing but metal in between ur foot and the exhaust. My last 240 was gutted and had the same exact problem, the carpet and sound deadening material do more than just keep it quiet and comfortable. Getting a new exhaust won't fix the problem but heat wraps or putting the carpet back in will.
As for the high idle: check timing, clean the throttle body and idle air control valve, also check for vacuum leaks
