Is glowing headers normal?

[user_deleted]

highest adiabatic flame temp is at a lambda of 1.

no idea what any of that means but sure sounds techy cool.

Is the muffler packing possibly blocking the exhaust flow?

Its a D&D so it doesnt have packing. :\

My bike last night had glowing headers like this. I have the drummer, K&n, erb ecm. I just emailed EBR to ask what the deal is.

My pipes glow cherry red also but I am not concerned. The exhaust gases are hot enough to heat stainless steel so it gets red. The thickness of the stainless and the fact that no air is passing over them are factors. I would not let the bike sit too long though as who needs unecessary heat anyway. If the heat hits 320 degrees F or at least in that neighborhood your fan will come on to help dissipate the heat.

Enjoy your bike and ride often unless you live by me as we just got freakin snow!
