Doesn't sound like a problem if it ran ok and all the pipes are the roughly the same colour if chromed or stainless.
Air cooled motor, stood at the lights = increased heat.
Anything hotter than a fart will produce heat haze.
Engine and pipes will be more than a few hundred degrees at least.
Worrying for nothing.
