Default help exhaust glowing

Holy night fighters looking for glowing exhaust stacks to find the
bombers! This is not normal unless an engine has been running very
hard for a long time. I am guessing that you may have roached a
turbocharger (if so equipped) or are running so horribly overrich that
a lot of fuel is actually burning within the exhaust manifold. I'd
actually consider having this one towed to a reputable mechanic.

Best of luck,
