I get hot air from my e-brake all the time. I usually ride around with the windows or roof open, so I figured it's just one of those things that the civic does.
My cat isn't too far from there, so I think it's just radiant heat, with the window open, there's a pressure difference inside the car that makes it more noticeable.

and why dont other cars do this?</TD></TR></TABLE>
It's not a vacuum, they only exist in space; but there is a pressure differential. The fast air moving over / outside the shell of the car creates a lower pressure inside of the cabin.
Since the exhaust / cat is right next to the hole in the chassis, the hot air in this area can be pulled into the cabin. The reason other cars don't do it, is due to the seal / boots in the area, location of the exhaust piping and other model specific factors.
