Hi,

That's nothing new. The header on my Esprit glows Red Hot all the time after a Spirited Run, really freaked me out at first until I was told: "They all do that Sir..."

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

I have seen many glowing headers before, but that was by far the hottest set.

My main reason why i personally prefer Ceramic headers vs. Stainless. Especially for non-track, regularly driven street cars.

Hehe, reminds me of popping the hood on my Eclipse after a track session and seeing the entire exhaust manifold glowing cherry red in the garage.

900bhp from a 3 liter V10 is bound to heat things up a bit

Anyone who doesn't have a smile on their face after watching that shouldn't be in a performance car!
