The Banks exhaust system was a big help on the early 275 hp V-10's - 97-99. Helped on the 305hp 2000, but not as much. With each improved model of the V-10 Ford has licked more red off Bank's candy to the point improvement, other than the stainless steel components, is hard to measure.
At a couple of recent RV shows, mostly used, I saw several class C's that had carpet or thick padding added to the doghouse. Apparently it's specific to the OEM as I have not been able to find anything like it on the web. Probably have to design and make, or have made, yourself.
Mine (08 E450) is only hot on the passenger side. Floor was also very hot but after I pulled the carpet and installed shiny honeycomb aluminum insulation under the carpet. The floor is still a bit warm, but significantly better.
