hey, guys last night I took a friend to one of the local mountains (cypress) to do a late night photoshoot of the city and on the way up my car was speeding up at 80-100k as soon as I got to the top I popped my hood open and noticed that my headers were glowing red and they have never done that before and i've gone up this mountain two weeks earlier and it was fine.

 

you have (1) header and it sounds like you have a clogged catalytic converter. too much back pressure will heat it up alot. The only time i have seen a red hot header was on a turbo setup after alot of racing.

 

or the timing is wacky

 

Clogged cat will do it. Running very lean will do it. Timing advanced too much may do it.

 

Did you get any pics of it? That would look awesome.

my lsv did that one time when i put it back together, then after a few weeks i noticed my exhaust got louder, i think it got too much back pressure and decide to burn out the fiberglass in the exhaust

 

hey, guys I checked my timing and it was fine, so this weekend i'll check my cat to see if it's plugged.

as for pics I didn't take any but i'll be going up there again on the weekend so i'll bring my camera and see if it happens again.

 

i have the same problem but i put new ariars rings could it be that i might put the bottom ones wrong? help please
