No I am one of his friends and it looks like it came from under the car..., its like right under the butt parts of the back seat (where you actually sit). You got me but it has a nice black hole under the seat.

Proper heat shielding Make sure you guys use proper heat shielding if you run open pipes/cutouts under the car.
