Red hot header

[Hollywood]

Anyone know what would cause exhaust to glow red? Is that a normal condition for a 2014 700?

A restriction somewhere, maybe?

Doesn't seem to be. Running good header just gets red. I don't know. Lots of demons in these things. Lol

Lean fuel mixture, possibly? Just spitballing, but these are things that I have seen in cars.

I agree but being an efi I think the ecu controls that. Iac tps 02.

exhaust glowing red is a LEAN running condition, either too much air or not enough fuel.

[T-boss 410]

Since it's an EFI engine and thus PCM controlled, would it be that the injector may be partially plugged, or something is restricting the air flow?

I'm going to order a new injector and see what happens.

Anyone else notice if their pipes are getting red hot? Is this normal? Don't know anyone that owners one to compare.

 glowing red header usually means 1 of three things.. restricted exhaust pipe/muffler, very lean air/fuel mix or late ignition timing..

Problem was using cheap eBay injector. Bought quality one and hot pipes went away. Running like new.

Yep. Don't try to be cheap like me. Isn't worth the b/s.
