Default Headers Glowing Orange!!!

I had to jump my 98 trans am because the battery was dead. It was nighttime and i backed it out of the garage let it idle for about 5 minutes and when i was sitting in the car i started to smell a burning smell. I immediately popped the hood and looked inside the engine compartment and my JBA headers were literally GLOWING orange! anyone have any idea about what this could be??

your car is runnin super lean dude. either that or i've heard that clogged cats can make them glow as well. ditch the cats or fix the air/fuel and it wont do that. unless you just want it to ;D

i got the MAF translator on there. Do you think the settings get blown out if the battery dies or what?

Did it throw a code yet. If not it will. Either the code for the after cats O2 sensors or the lean code. But first thing you should do is fatten that thing up. Tune it down with MAF a good deal to see if that works.
