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??

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.
