The other video was stationary also with no temps. Maybe at high load it's a little hotter on a highway but at all other times in traffic or urban areas it doesn't operate at all??

Besides once moving engine compartment air flow is designed to remove heat from that area
How do you know what the exhaust gas temperature is without measuring the exhaust gas temperature directly?

Where did you read that exhaust gas temperature has to be 800C for substantial efficiency? I heard it should be much less, closer to 300C. At 800C it sounds close to overheating and ruining the catalytic converter.

Again, catalytic converters do work. This isn't a conspiracy to use up precious metals that are hard to get.
