Glowing Headers
Fired up the MK last night ready for its first run of the season. It was getting dark and noticed the headers (exhaust) were glowing red. Is this
normal or could there be a problem with the fuel mixture? Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry just noticed posted in the wrong section. Can I move it?
Regards,
Arnie.

tubular headers normally glow in the dark after a run, quite normal
you know you've been thrashing it when they glow in the daylight
